What Is The Cause For The Liquid Oozing Out From The Toenail When On Antibiotic Ointment After An Injury?

Someone stepped on my toenail about 3 weeks ago and it was sore initially, but now brownish and clear liquid oozes out when I press on it! The corner of my tonsil is getting loose. Have been soaking it in Epsom salt and applying antibiotic ointment. Still oozing though. What is going on?? Thanks!

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having toe nail bed infection.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Clean the part properly and do dressing with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
