Brooke has been sucking her thumb since she was in the womb. When she is teething; she bite on that same thumb. A few weeks ago; her thumb turned very red and puffed up. We watched to see if it would get better, but it stayed swollen and red. We took her to the pediatrician to see what was going on. He said it was an infection. He took that thumb and squeezed so hard. A bunch of icky stuff came out and she had a bruise under the skin. I'm sure it felt much better after the pressure was released. I tried to take a picture after we came home from the dr. It is a bit fuzzy, but you get the idea. The Dr. also put her on an antibiotic for 2 weeks; just so the infection would not spread.
