Hey Guys. I have managed to pick up a finger nail infection over the past week. At first I thought it would just go away with cleanliness but it appears to have got worse. I went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me a shot of antibiotics and that seemed to do the trick but when I woke up this morning it was worse. I just had another shot and he told me to come in for another shot this afternoon. He says that if it doesn't get better soon he is going to have to cut away the infected tissue. Which is something I'd rather avoid as according to him it will be quite painful.
I was wondering if Red Light therapy might have a beneficial effect on the infection. I know it works against viral infections and fungus but I do not know much with regards to bacteria. I know blue light is effective against bacteria but I am worried that red light might make it worse.
Does anyone have any knowledge if Red Light somehow might actually help bacteria rather than hurt it?
Also if anyone else has any other advice on how to fight a nail bacterial/fungal nail infection or an infection in general that would be great.
Thanks.
