If it’s just starting you can wedge a little bit of cotton wool underneath the corner of the nail to lift it clear of your toe, which will allow it to grow out normally.
If it’s a proper ingrown you want to douse it in Betadine and get to the doctor. Trying to do things yourself can be an infection risk
Thank you 😊 I had accidentally clipped the nail too short and it broke, then I stubbed my toe. Didn’t think anything of it until it started being painful and gross over the past few days. I can’t really see if it’s ingrown, so hopefully it’s just beginning.

Ouch. Double pain. Definitely get it seen if possible before it gets worse
