Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As you had hit your left toe against the table edge and the area near the nail and has been wounded. S the wound is filled with the pus it suggests me that your wound is infected which should be managed vigorously and completely.
You requires a physical examination to know the extent of the injury and the amount of tissue lost. I would suggest you to follow 1.Wound should be cleaned and dressed properly 2.X-Ray of the left toe finger should be taken 3.A course of broad spectrum antibiotics like Tab Augmentin, twice daily for 5 days should be taken. 4.Oral Analgesics Thank you.
