    Pain after toenail removal is common but doesnt usually last more than 6 - 10 days. You have a very nasty infection there and if the antibiotics arent improving things do go to your doctor. You may need a different antibiotic or even some swabs taken from the infection to identify the problem.

      You need to get to the doctor ASAP! That toe is infected.

      Go back to your doctor. Better to make sure with some professional advice.
