Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having a infected foot following the accidental nail injury 6 weeks back and now you are having painful sore foot, which suggest me that you are having infection of the foot.
For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Regular dressing and maintaining the wound hygiene.
2.Tab Augmentin, 675mg, twice daily for 5 days.
3.Topical T Bact ointment
4.Oral Analgesics to relive the pain.
Thank you.
