Toenail removal aftercare or soaking for ingrown toenails

I used ice wrapped in a towel on my elevated foot after toenail removal. It dulled the pain pretty well. The nerves calmed down after a couple weeks.

Thank you. I will try icing it more and add that to my routine. I was able to talk to my PCP, and she suggested using Peroxide in between soaking with the soap and water, and the Epsom salt soaks. It may be the start of an infection so I'm trying to prevent that, and see one of my doctors on Tuesday if I need to. Sad and glad to hear that I'm not alone in feeling more pain still after having it done 5-6 days ago.
