How Can Swelling And Soreness Of The Big Toe Be Treated?
I had a pedicure three days ago and just woke up today to my big toe being extremely sensitive for anything to touch it. I also am not walking on it. It is now swollen and red and I am quite concerned. I am not sure what to do about it and am planning on going into an urgent care in the morning. Any suggestions??

Some infections might have been transmitted in toe, while pedicure. Possibility of abscess formation beneath nail. Hence a clinic visit is necessary, if any pus, it must be drained . Don't worry, not and emergent or serious concern . No panic
