8. When You Must Go to the Doctor

The decision of whether or not to go to a doctor is an individual one, but if in doubt here are some helpful guidelines.

Other people need to consult a doctor if they see no improvement in symptoms in a couple of days. The presence of pus at the side of the nail and the onset of fever are additional good reasons for making a doctor's appointment.
