Tips on how to remove a splinter
Remove it as soon as possible.
1. Get a scotch tape or masking tape, put it in affected area, then pull it off. It should remove the splinter easily. Wash it with betadine after removing the splinter.
2. If #1 does not work because it is embedded deep, get a tweezers or a needle; pull the splinter out. Wash with betadine after removing the splinter. You should do this as soon as # 1 failed to work. Do not wait longer because it would swell and removing it by then would be painful.
3. If # 1 and #2 do not work, clean the affected area with Betadine, make a paste of 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and water, put it on affected area and bandage it. After a day, remove the bandage and rinse the area, the splinter will be sticking out and you can remove it easily.
4. If #1, 2, and 3 do not work. See your Doctor.
