I would go straight to the podiatrist. I had a couple of these a few years back and the podiatrist removed a small piece of the nail, the pressure went away and the infection disappeared. He made it seem very simple.



First, wash your injured foot with a soap and water and clean the aria as much as you can bare it. The swelling means you have an infection set in. Put a disinfectant dressing (cream) on it and bandage it. You can use any clean cloth like a hankie to do that. If it still bothers you in the morning, go to a doctor. You might need some antibiotics to mop up the infection.
