Soak your foot in warm water with epsom salts for 20 or 30 minutes a day for several days. This should help with any infection and make the redness go down. After you soak and dry it, dab a little Neosporin around the nail bed on the inflamed side. If it doesn't start getting better, you may have to go to a podiatrist to get the toenail trimmed out from under the skin. It's not a very pleasant procedure, but it is over quickly.
