Toenail infection
I had toenail surgeries two time in 2019 and 2020 because of toenail infection in both of the toenails. I was having a lot of pain, redness and the swelling in the affected area. Last time I went to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Hospital due to the same reason they prescribed clotrimazole I.P sol. to apply 2 times in a day for 1 month and Fluzide tables to consume 2 tablets every Sunday till one month. Yet I have not completed the 1 months as 15 days are left in one month. According to me, I think one of my toe is recovered but there is still a problem with my another toenail as the condition of my right leg's toenail is getting worse. It has swelled and been red more than usual time and looking like going to brust. Its very hard by touch. And some yellow fluid we can say (mavaad) got collected near the nail of toe and being spread bit by bit as I observed it 2 days.

You have an infection around the nail, known as Paronychia. Recurrent infections like this may indicate that you have diabetes or some other immunity-compromising condition. It is sometime also related to pedicures. Please meet a general surgeon, who can examine, drain the pus and start you on the correct plan.
Next Steps
Please take Tab Augmentin Duo (625) twice daily. Apply Mupirocin ointment locally over the toes. The pus needs to be drained and the area cleaned. You must meet a general surgeon as soon as possible.
