Toenail injury
About a month ago I stubbed my toe accidentally. It was bleeding initially but after a week the pain I had got completely healed. Now I can notice my toenail shaking and also it turned yellow-reddish color. What does this mean? Are there any fungal infections? How can it be cured?

Apart from the traumatic injury, there is greenish hue in nail bed, which may be due to bacterial (pseudomonas) infection.
Use Ciplox eyedrops twice daily on the nail folds.
Review after a month.
