Cutting Babies ingrown nail

Alexandria

My son had an ingrown toenail , they gave antibiotics and ointment and it got better. Dr told me to cut the nail after it’s soaked in warm water . I’ve cut his nail .. I don’t see a nail digging in his skin though to cut. It just looks like a normal part of the nail is cover from the skin still being a bit swollen . I wish the dr would just cut it herself 😩
