Try some Motrin/Advil. You may also want to call the MD who did the procedure and ask his advice. They may be able to give additional advice as I'm sure you're not the only one he's had this happen too. Generally with an ingrown toenail, there may be an area that has a wound to it where the nail was digging into the skin. It takes time for it to heal. Just watch that area is not infected with pus, increased redness or red streaks from the area. If that's the case, call your MD immediately. You may need a different antibiotic.
