These Chicago Podiatrists, Elmhurst Podiatrists & South Loop Orthopedic Podiatrists say.......

Dear  Zeno,
For your ingrown toenail---
Sound like there is still a piece of nail in the corner pressing into the skin (can't be seen unless dug out).
The antibiotics will not help until the little piece of nail comes out. Once out, it should heal within 2 weeks.
Hope This Helps!
