Paronychia: If you also bite nails with your mouth instead of nail cutter, then be careful, because by doing so you are inviting a serious problem. The habit of chewing nails with the mouth is very unhealthy. According to doctors, due to biting the nails from the mouth, infection of paronychia can arise. It is an infection that develops when bacteria enter and multiply through the scraped skin and nails.
Doctors tell that if the infection persists for a long time and it is not treated, then paronychia causes pus and swelling. Due to this you may feel tired and fever and dizziness may also occur. By the way, paronychia gets cured after treatment. But in many people it comes back again. Doctors say that severe and chronic paronychia infection mostly affects people who have diabetes.
