Had nail removed from great toe a few days ago and it is still draining. i'm afraid to leave uncovered. now having pain on top of foot. is this normal?

Nail removal: Nail avulsions and surgical removal can be painful, but the discomfort should generally not increase or involve more areas of the foot. An evaluation for secondary infection would be wise.
