Hot and cold compress: Applying a hot or cold compress to the swollen area can help greatly with both swelling and pain. Use a hot water bottle or cold cloth depending on what feels best for you.
Strength test: Before going to sleep, perform simple strength tests such as lifting your sheets or placing light objects on your feet. This can help assess swelling and improve blood circulation.
Rest and elevate: Resting your feet and keeping them elevated can reduce swelling significantly. Use a pillow to elevate your feet while resting, which can also help with any ingrown nail discomfort.
