In short: You may be suffering from paronychia(infection of nail fold)
Explanation: When ever there is injury to nail fold, this may happen. COntinuous pain may be due to infection and abscess formation. So, go to our doctor for check up whether there is pus formation or not.
You may continue to use your ointment with some pain killer for the time being till you visit your doctor.
Good luck
