Suggest Treatment For Insomnia And Ingrown Toe Nail

I had an ingrown toe nail that I had cut/dug at (with insomnia occurring at the same time) so I dug a little too deep. I have had two nurse friends look at it and they said it looks like I might have torn a piece of the nail bed out but it has been over a week now with intense pain and a new piece of skin growth where the nail used to be & where it should be growing. I have been soaking it, putting antibiotic cream with a band aid but still very painful. There has been some drainage of blood/puss. However, i am currently on a road trip across the country to help my friend move so going to a doctor isnt very easy at the moment. I also havent been wearing a shoe/sock on that food while in the car to let it breathe and wearing slippers when we make any stops so there isnt much pressure on it. Any suggestions?
