Why are my nails red and white since an infection?

[Lina111]

My nails look different since I had an infection of the respiratory tract.

Can someone help me out, please. What could be the reason for the discoloration of my finger nails.

No one here is qualified to offer any comment on your nails - as this followed an infection it would be best to seek advice from your own doctor.

This is a liver health forum so perhaps not the correct place for your enquiry anyway plus it's against forum rules to post photographs for comment.

Definitely need to see your own doctor.
