Posting for traffic so sorry in advance!
I cut my toenail last weekend, was quite sore Monday, Tuesday I decided to look closely and squeeze it and horrible gunk came out. It felt a lot better Wednesday but was still red on the side, Thursday it was sore to touch, so managed to get in with Nurse Prescriber today who looked and said there's an infection and has given me flucloxaxillin 4 a day for a week I think it is. Took the first one teatime so will have another before bed.
Just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom or advice as it's really sore now! I'm laid in bed reading so my leg is elevated as it's on the bed, just wondered if there's anything I can put on or if it's best to leave alone.
How long will it take for the antibiotics to kick in and the pain/redness to go?
Sorry to sound a pain, I also have health anxiety massively which I'm on medication for. I'm trying my hardest this year to stop worrying and stressing about everything around my health so I don't want to fall into a Google rut - thought the lovely people on MN might have some advice for me
