By calling your DPM: If your DPM makes house call . Or try first soaking your feet in warm water , wear loose shoes and see if it helps , most likely you need a visit to your Podiatrist

Ingrown toenail: You can try to treat an ingrown toenail at home by trying to remove the part of the nail that is pressing into the skin. You will also need to apply antibiotic ointment and soak in epsom salts and warm water. If the pain persists then you will need to see your podiatrist for evaluation.

Nail care...: Ingrown toenails can be remedied through soaking your foot in warm water, removal of embedded debris from the nail borders, and applying an antibiotic ointment to temporarily soften the corners. One should always try to cut the nails strait across to avoid leaving an embedded nail spicule. If pain or redness continues get it looked at by a professional.
