Why is my toenail injury bleeding profusely and not healing?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 25 years old and have an injury in the toenail due to a hit on the door. There was severe bleeding, and it did not stop. Currently, I do not take any medications. I think I have symptoms of fever. I did blood tests as suggested by my physician. Can I take a Vitamin K supplement to stop the bleeding?

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Avoid Vitamin K for injury. Use a bandage to control bleeding from the damaged blood vessel. Keep the leg in a relaxed position for faster recovery. Consult your doctor for analgesics and antibiotics. Attach the pictures for providing a treatment plan. Thank you.
