hi, thanks for writing in to hcm.
Since infections are common diabetes , kindly immediatedly consult a physician for medications like:
1.Antibiotics - Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 7 days(if not allergic to it)
2.Anti inflammatory drugs like - diclofenac 50mg once a day to reduce pain.
3. Serratiopeptidase tablet - to help in wound healing.
Kindly take medications after consulting a physician.

Dr.Riyanka
