Painfull ingrown toe nail

2020-08-11 07:03:42
My mother is facing problems with her ingrown toe nail which has become too much painful, swelling and puss is filling up. She can't walk properly due to this. She is doing some home remedies like soak her feet on warm water, applying antiseptic but doesn't show any improvement. Our family doctor has given some pain reliefs. Please suggest what should be done to improve the condition. Thanks

The ingrown toe nail has alrdy been infected now. You need a proper treatment to suppress the infection and then it needs to get excised and removal of the nail. Don't wry. Consult me for advice and treatment
