Yes: Could be infection or inflammatory response. Should get it checked by an expert (podiatrist).

Yes: Anytime you have drainage from a wound, it should be evaluated. It may be a sterile subungual abscess and require nothing more than simple cleansing, but let your podiatrist decide that.

Podiatrist: You should see your podiatrist for further evaluation. You may have an abscess under the nail.
