I was changing Aaron's pj this morning and noticed his left big toe is red and swollen. It is pretty alarming as I remember reading something dangerous about swollen baby toe. Of course the paranoid me immediately start searching online and see what might have caused the red swollen toe. Once again, everything sounds pretty serious and scary and I call the nurse right away. She didn't seem too concerned but I insist to get Aaron checked. Unfortunately, daddy could not make it to the appointment so I had to drive Aaron to the Dr. by myself. Luckily grandma came with us and helped carry some stuff for us.
The nurse said that Aaron has an ingrown toenail and is infected the moment she saw his toe. The Dr. then made a small incision to remove the puss and had us send the culture to the lab. Poor Aaron was crying so loud when the dr. poked his toe and I was such a wimp that I didn't even dare to watch what the dr. was doing.
Dr. also confirmed that Aaron's second tooth is popping out. Yay! Sooner or later he will have 2 bottom teeth and start looking more like a little kid.
