Tip #2: Make sure children's shoes fit. Shoe width is more important than length. Make sure that the widest part of the shoe matches the widest part of your child's foot.
Tip #3: If a child develops a painful ingrown toenail, parents can reduce the inflammation by soaking the child's foot in room-temperature water and gently massaging the side of the nail fold.
Tip #4: The only proper way to treat a child's ingrown toenail is with a minor surgical procedure at a podiatrist's office. Parents should never try to dig the nail out or cut it off. These dangerous "bathroom surgeries" carry a high risk for infection. Doctors may prescribe antibiotics to children with infected ingrown toenails.

My little one had an ingrown toe nail because her nail was too big for the space on her toe. She had a lot of pain! I'm glad I have been informed by this article. Calgary Foot Doctor
