What Causes Swollen Left Foot After UTI Treatment In 16 Month Baby?
Hi my little 16 month old baby girl has been in hospital with a urine infection. She had an IV placed in her foot, we have just got home after three days. She hasn't walked since being admitted into hospital which was 3 days ago. Her left foot still looks a bit puffy and shes still very unbalanced when she tries to walk... any advice?

Hi,
From history it seems that due to IV infusion in left foot might have produced some extravasation of injecting liquid and irritation might have given this problem like puffiness on the part and pain.
This might be leading to discomfort and unbalanced.
Apply ice pack on the part 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days.
If require apply Thrombophob cream on affected area.
Ok and take care.
