What To Do For The Wound In The Toe Nails?

I recently bruised both my right and left toenails from playing softball. the left toenails bruise busted a few days ago and now has puss with an odor coming from it. My right tonails bruise has not ruptured yet. What do I need to do about the puss coming from my left toenail. It has an uncomfortable feeling as well.

this type of wounds usually takes a long time to heal unless you go to a surgeon and take regular medicine and get the puss removed. this may also involve getting your toe nail removed too. this shall follow with a 10 day period of antibiotics depending on the spread of the puss inside.
