Usually an ingrown toe nail with pus, blood, redness, swelling indicates you are having an infection. Which may require antibiotics and nail excision. It will be a very minor procedure but will help.
Next Steps
Can consult online and send photos for preliminary examination/consult a General Surgeon in your locality.
