Suggest Remedies For Swollen And Painful Wound

Dear Doctor, I had a swollen reddish Big Toe at front and later developed a puss. Accordingly Doctor removed the Puss. But the wound is not healing even after 2 weeks and it hurts when Toe strikes even gently and it again started to become reddish and swelling. But no pain when touched. Please suggest some home remedies if possible.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having nail bed infection giving rise this problem.
Due to injury there might be having soft tissue infection, swelling under the nail, it takes more time to heal.
What is required is go for regular dressing preferably by doctor so that he might clean the wound properly with removing of pus, blood and slough.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
This will bring proper healing.
Old nail might come out and new nail will come.
Ok and take care.
