Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to paronychia which is a nail infection. I suggest using cold compresses for local application. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation. I recommend using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
