Suggest Treatment For Toenail Infection
I have an infected big toenail that I hit a week ago and my nail is loose I am on Co_amoxiclave 500mg. It is oozing puss and is very sore, I have been bathing it in warm salted water twice a day but it will not stop hurting me. I have put a dressing on it with gauze and micropore is there anything else I could do?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having a infected great toe which was hit against some hard surface which has lead to loose nail, for which your doctor has prescribed antibiotics and suggested other remedies to treat it.
As the puss is oozing out of the wound, I would suggest you to follow
1.Regular dressing
2.Tab Augmentin, 675mg, twice daily for 5 days.
3.Topical T Bact ointment
4.Wound hygiene is of top priority.
Thank you.
