Suggest Treatment For Infected Toenail

I had a very inexperienced doctor removal my toe nail. He numbed it with three shots directly above the toe line, had a very poor cut, and didn't properly cauterize it. It is one day after and it pussing fairly badly and looks terrible. What should I do? I am taking an Anti-biotic... but?
