Hello,
As the nail is trying to come out, the better option will be removal of nail and removal of slough at nail bed and then dressing for 4 or 5 days.
As per my clinical experience, person may get benefit by antibiotic as Amoxicillin Clavunate drug two times and tablet Aceclofenic plus serratiopeptidase two times for 5 days. But, surgery is the better option.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
