Hello,
Some suggestion to treat the ingrown nail in the toe are:
-Soak your feet in warm water. Do this for 15 to 20 minutes three to four times a day.
-Apply antibiotic cream.
-Take pain relievers.
Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. If the symptoms continue you should see a surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
