If you can't obtain them out, take him to the emergency room.

If at home, soak foot in epsom salts in very warm water... Use magnifying light and specialized eye brow tweezers.
If you just want it done for the same amount of time...The Emergency Room, wait four freakin' hours for them to do an iodine rub (brown gunk) with an orange stained foot for a few days of getting the rest out. I kind of think of it like this. Do I want to clip my own dogs nails or have a dog grooming service do it for 9 bucks? Kids... Gotta love 'em. Even though they don't listen to you when you nag at them and say, "Put your shoes on!" - Just before they go out the door like a broken record. Same when winter hits. "Put your jacket on!" But no... They have to explore suffering the consequences only to repeat you when they have kids. |

Try soaking it in hot (normal bath temp) water with 1 tbsp of betadine or hydrogen peroxide added. Soak about 15 minutes. You can also contribute Valerian root powder to the water. It will aid draw the spines out. After the soaking, observe what you could get out with tweezers. If you can't obtain them all, it's VERY IMPORTANT to have a doctor do it. If a spine remains in there and gets infected, it can spread to his bloodstream.

Sorry, but that make no sense. Chestnut hulls have thorn-like spikes on the outside, but your son wouldn't be able to step on 50 of them, nor do they "shoot" needles and for the the bulk part they come out when you eradicate the hull from the foot.
If you can't obtain your son to a doctor right away, soak his foot in water as hot as he can stand it, preferably with salt, to draw out whatever you're talking about. Put antibiotic on it after and obtain him to a doctor as soon as possible. Be certainly to bring some of the needles" and hulls. |
