No Tears Splinter Removal

So how many of you have tried to pull a splinter out of your tots finger or toe and they are JUST freaking out? It is more then I can bear to put my little one through the agony of squeezing and pinching her finger. Not that she has ever had more then one or two splinters but...I came across this great way to remove splinters in the March issue of Parenting magazine and thought I'd share it with you.

1. Wash the area with soap and water
2. Apply a little white glue over the part of the splinter that is poking out.
3. When you peel off the dried glue, the splinter should come right out. Presto!
4. Dab on an antibiotic ointment and cover with a festive bandage of choice.

If the splinter is really deep, or if the area is red and swollen, you will probably need a doctors help to get it out.
