Painfull ingrown toe nail
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
