Suggest Treatment For Broken Bones On Feet

My female friend is 75. Fell and broke all bones in her foot. Had surgery and pins put in 2 1/2 weeks ago. Her doctor took out stitches at 2 weeks. Two of those areas bled and have opened up. I ve been putting antibiotic cream on those areas and rewrapped her foot twice. She called on Thursday am to get an appointment with her doctor. Her doctor couldn t see her until next Tuesday. She is having uncontrollable shaking several times a day and throwing up. The doctor s receptionist told her that she d be fine until Tuesday. Should we consider another doctor at this point? What can she take for the shaking? Her whole body shakes uncontrollably. Thank you.

Hello,

The symptoms your friend has been having make me think of conditions like wound infection, fever with shivering and sepsis. Please take her to the emergency department or another doctor as she requires a thorough clinical examination and few tests like complete blood picture, ESR and CRP. If she has fever, give tab. Acetaminophen every 6th hour. As fever subsides, shivering will subside too.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
