Doctor didn't remove ingrown nail?

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I recently posted about an infected ingrown nail but I didn't quite get the answer I was looking for, I don't think I explained very well, I have an infected ingrown toenail, when I went to my doctor he prescribed me with antibiotics but did not remove the ingrown nail, I asked does he not need to remove the nail and he said no. What should I do?
