Hello
You will need to go back to the hospital for the nail left in to be removed.If it is not removed and the spot explored and cleaned, the infection will not be controlled.Antibiotics and pain medications will have everything under control.So do not be scared.Just get to the hospital fast.
Wish you a speedy recovery
