Brief Answer:
Seems paronychia
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
This seems like a case of bacterial paronychia. Paronychia mostly resolves by draining the pus by incision and drainage by surgeon followed by topical antibiotics.
If that does not help, then oral antibiotics like Tab Cephadex 500 mg twice a day for 5 days should resolve the infection. This is a prescription medicine.
Hope this help.
