How To Cure Water Collect On Toe?

I hit my toe a couple weeks ago. I trimmed it and thought it was fine. Yesterday I realised my toe was smelling bad and realised that the whole thing was raising up and water would collect. I cut it right down and putting antibiotics on it now. Should I be doing anything else? It is not hurting.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some infection on toe due to soft tissue injury.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibitic cream.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
