Hello, I'm a 13 year old boy and 2 days ago I went to the doctors about my infected toe, it got infected from an ingrown toenail. He gave me some antibiotics to take 4 times a day, but he didn't say how long to take them for. I have school tomorrow and I am worried that my shoes will make it worse, they aren't really tight on my feet but I'm still worried they will make it worse. Also, should I do sports in school, like in P.E, or should I wait until it is fully healed?
Thanks, please reply soon!

Hi Harrimellish,
Always take ALL the antibiotics that your doctor gave you. You must finish them. If you don't you run the risk of the infection becoming resistant to the drugs and it can become worse.
What did your doctor say for care? Normally you'd want to keep it clean and dry. Some doctors have you soak it as well. As for PE, if it doesn't bother you then there should be no problems.
