Big toe very red in the corner from in grown toe nail. cut the nail away but appears infected. soaking in tea tree oil helps. do i need anti biot?

See DR: Tea tree oil worthless. The Dr who cut away the nail will be interested to inspect this and talk to you. The red area may be a normal response to surgery or infection. Is there pus? A red streak up the toe? How long since surgery?
