How To Treat Ingrown Toenail Causing Swelling And Fluid Discharge?
Hello doctor, I have a infected ingrown toenail for about a year and few months I have gone to two different doctors and both have given me anti-biotics and some cream but nothing worked. My toe is still swollen and has fluid running down. I noticed about two days ago my other big toe had become red and painful on the side. This pain is so bareable I can hardly sleep peacefull. I am out of options because the one doctor have told me that I cannot remove the nail due to the swollen and painfull redness. I am worried and cannot take the pain. What would doctor recommend me to do?
Hello dear if I am to be your treating physician I will have to remove the toenail but before that I will place your on tablet Naproxen tablet prednisone tablet kotase to reduce the pain and swelling thus after the procedure you will take injection ceftriaxone tablet flagyl multivitamin capsules tablet kotase and continue the Naproxen tablet
