Suggest Treatment For Swollen , Infected And Painful Toe Nail
I had an infected toe nail that got red and swollen. I soaked it and cut out the damaged nail. A little bit of puss came out too. The pressure is gone but theres some redness in the vein on the top of my foot. I just took 500mg of Amoxicillin. Should the redness be gone my morning? Also, can I take a larger dose of Amoxicillin or wait till take 500 more in he morning?

You are having ingrown toe nail.Nail goes inwards which leads to trauma and infection.Anti boitics and analegiscs will help to reduce pain and swelling,but definite treatment is surgical removal of nail.Consult your doctor.
