I'm sorry to hear about your broken toenail and the pain you're experiencing. Here are some steps you can take to care for it:
If the pain is severe, the nail is deeply damaged, or you notice signs of infection, it is important to see a podiatrist or a dermatologist promptly. They can assess whether you need further treatment, such as antibiotics or nail removal.
Please avoid self-medicating with antibiotics like Moxclav (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) without a doctor's prescription, as inappropriate use can lead to resistance and other complications.
If you experience severe pain, spreading redness, fever, or any other concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention or contact emergency services.
Take care and consult a specialist doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
