What Causes Ankle Swelling After Treating A Fractured And Infected Toe?
thank you on 26 jan. went to podiartrist for stubbing my right large toe by walking bare foot in house it was found that i had infection and fractured my toe .had toe nail removed and i hope source of infection on bottom of toe. Given ciprofloxacn and told to soak 2x a day with epsom salt . now i see that the swelling has moved to my angle.
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns. I hope I have answered your query. This may be a progression of infection and you need to see doctor again and have antibiotics intravenously if you ask me. this should not be neglected since this may lead to serious consequances. Also, i think that along with cipro, you should have metronidazol or clindamycin as antibiotic treatment to cover both aerobes and anaerobes. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
