What could be causing sudden swelling and severe pain around my second toe nail without any injury, and are Crocin and Soframycin the right medications to use for this?
Sudden pain and swelling around your toenail without an injury often points to a localized skin infection called paronychia, sometimes caused by an ingrown nail. Crocin (paracetamol) is a suitable choice to help manage the pain and reduce discomfort. Soframycin (framycetin) is a topical antibiotic that can help if the infection is very superficial. However, if the swelling is severe, throbbing, or spreading, you may need prescription oral antibiotics. I recommend keeping the foot clean, soaking it in warm water, and having a healthcare professional examine it to ensure you get the most effective treatment.
