hi,
It is normal to have pain and ooze along with some bruises after ingrown nails have been derooted.
As you have used antibiotics, the chances of infection decrease but pain and inflammation need some NSAID drugs like Diclofenac or Brufen for few days before you get accustumed to new nails.
All the best.
