It’s looks like infection of the nail bed. It needs antibiotics if it’s continuing to ache. Although there is no data and great evidence dipping in warm salt water seem to have helped a few but not sure it will with you.
Next Steps
If you develop temperature, worsening pain or swelling see a doctor.
