<s>[INST] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...my daughter amputated the tip of her finger last night and I want to advise her how to care for it. It bled pretty heavily at first but that has not been a continued problem. I want to advise her how to care for it so she will not get an infection. [/INST] HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor She should initially keep the area covered to reduce contact with contaminants that would cause infection. The area should be cleaned with an antiseptic solution and topical antibiotics applied. She may need to have it reviewed by her doctor at intervals to make sure that it is healing well. If there is any evidence of infection-redness, swelling, tenderness, increased warmth or pain, then she may need oral antibiotics. I hope this helps </s>
