I had a ingrown toenail removed on oct 9th . it still hurts and red . im on antibiotic . my dr won't be back in to see me until next thursday?

It is plausible: There is a nail spicule or piece of nail still present under the cuticle or nail fold. If you are in pain you can see a different doctor who can help you. Usually when doctors are unavailable they make arrangements with a covering doctor.
