Question

How can i get glass out of my 3 year old daughters foot?

Answer 1

well if it's just a tiny piece then a pair of tweezers should do it!

i know this sounds weird; but cut a potatoe in half and rub it where the glass is [if it's inside the skin] and it brings the glass closer to the outside =]

i know it's weird but it works!

good luck=]

Answer 2

ER.  Messing with it yourself could cause serious problems.

Answer 3

Magnifying glass and tweezers.

Someone to hold her very still.

Dont let her walk on it.  

"glass" can be plural or singular. Im hoping its just one tiny piece, and not a bunch of glass.

After you remove it, treat it as a wound.  Put something on it  ( like triple antibiotic ointment ..alcohol..something ! ) and cover it, so it doesnt get infected.

If its a big piece, then it could be deep, but easy to remove.

Apply pressure and bandage as if she got cut on something.

Didnt even occur to me to go to the ER. We never went to the Dr for stuff like this.

Answer 4

Don't take her to the doctor becasueif its deep and you pull it out she could bleed to death.

Answer 5

tweezers. and someone to help hold her still. Just be very careful. But if you dont feel comfortable doing it go to the hospital. Just have someone sit in the backseat with her to make sure she does kick the back of the chair and lodge it in farther

Answer 6

Soak it in Epison salts for a while to soften the skin. Do not dig too deeply however. Use some clean tweezers, being careful not to break the glass. (my dad would use a match to disinfect the tweezers and needles..dont know how effective it is. I would use alcohol to be sure) I remember with my kids it would take two of us...one to hold the screaming child and one to dig out the glass.
