Brief Answer:
i dont think it was prescribed for ingrownail
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
First,antibiotics has limited role in ingrown nail management. It should be used in mild cases and any progression should be treated surgically. Fluxoxaciline can be prescribed for certain skin infections but it is not typically used for ingrown nail so I wouldn't take it. You need amoxicillinplus clavluanic acid if you ask me. Wish you good health.
