Yes, redness, swelling, and warmth are common symptoms of a paronychia (infection around the nail). If the infection is deep, it may require antibiotics. For superficial infections, soaking the affected area in a Dakin solution and applying antibiotic ointment can help. If the infection worsens despite treatment, it is best to seek medical advice.
