Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having a sore toe which is evident by redness, pain and swelling, which should be manged thoroughly. Physical examination is must before the initiation of the treatment. The cause for the sore toe should be found out and then it should be managed appropriately.

For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1.Tab Augmentin, 675mg, twice daily for 5 days.
2.Topical T Bact ointment
3.Oral Analgesics to relive the pain.

These medicines can be taken only after consulting your personal doctor.

Thank you.
