Sounds like and ingrown toenail. My son had this happen on his finger. It would get red and swollen. We assumed it was an ingrown nail and just doctored it at home. It would get better and then worse...it seemed a never ending cycle. After about a week and a half we decided to take him to the doctor. Apparently he got a bacterial infection because of the ingrown nail. The doctor did not poke or prod. He simply looked at it and prescribed and oral medication. It was cleared up in just a few days. I say keep and eye on it and if it doesn't seem to get better after a few days, take her in to the doctor.
