Hi I think I have an infection in my big toe and I'm unsure as to what the best course of action is. I tried to cut the toe nail a few days again thinking it may be in-growing but nothing has inmproved. It's so sore and I'm in agony and cannot walk properly, and I won't be able to see a doctor until next week at the earliest! Please help!!

Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Please do not try to cut the nail. Wash it thoroughly with soap water and keep it clean. You can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg thrice daily to reduce pain.
Kindly see you doctor as soon as possible to get it examined.
I hope this helps.
If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
