Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain, Redness And Swelling In Toenail
i ripped my toenail on my big toe down to the quick and went to get pedicure today to try and cover the appearance. I just woke up (14 hrs later) due to pain in my big toe. the entire toe is red, swollen and very tender to the touch. It feel like you are squeezing lemon juice into a cut through out my toe

Hello,
As per your history, it may be gout. To confirm, kindly do blood uric acid and X-ray of toe joint. For pain, you can take tab. Tylenol. You may require tab. Allopurinol after consultation.
Use cushioned shoes. Avoid bare foot walking. Avoid protein rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
