Have had swollen foot, started with sore middle toe. have had xray and blood test. xray found nothing brocken. bloodtest came back showing an infection. prescribed antibiotics. what causes an infection like this when the skin has not been brocken? its on the inside.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, History of sore toe and swollen foot suggests me that you are having some infection of the skin and the symptoms are suggestive of cellulitis. The cellulitis can produce symptoms like this, for these symptoms I would suggest to follow1. Oral antibiotics like Tab Augmenting, 625 mg, twice daily for 5 days.2. Maintaining the good hygiene of the toe and the foot.3. Topical Metro ointment. These medications will helps to control the symptoms and improve the condition. Thank you.
