My dog's broken nail is swollen and into the quick. What to do? Cost?

Question

My dog had broken her toenail somehow, it isn’t bleeding but you can tell it is broken way down into the quick of her nail bed and it is swollen. What should I do at this point? How much would something like this cost to get treatment? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

The only thing that can relieve this is to have the nail cut at the level of the break, this needs to be done by your vet. the cutting itself should not cost more than 20$ but in some cases it needs to be done under sedation which could cost 50-70$.
