Big toe is infected after toenail removal on antibiotics is there something i can do is it suppose to be covered?

Infected toe: It depends the involve of the procedure. Is it a total nail removal or just partial? Is there drainage or bleeding? If those exist then you would need to have bandaging the area for protection. I would strongly suggested you to go back to see your doctor that you had the procedure done to check out. The doctor would need to check that out and especially hear your concern. Take care.
