Part of it is still remaining inside Need to be removed surgically Take tab augmentin 625 tds for 5 days Apply fusidic acid cream over the affected part locally Tab dolo 650 sos for pain and fever Don't use any type of instrument on your infected part , don't try to remove the nail on your own Consult a surgeon for toe nail removal
