Please do not have an opinion that doctor's increasing the number of visits is for your own good so that they want to wait and watch whether you can get away without an operation which happens in most instances. I do not think you are so naive that you cannot demand an operation from a doctor when it is a simple operation. Introspect and learn yourselves before blaming doctor's please

if the infection is recurrent and there is ingrown toe nail, it needs a small surgery - either wedge resection (partial removal) or complete nail avulsion. In the interim, continue antibiotics when there is pus discharge.
Next Steps
Surgery by a local foot and ankle specialist or ortho surgeon
