Had A Fall And Broke Femur Bone. Discharge Was Oozing Out. Legs And Feet Are Swollen. Itchy. On Antibiotics. Suggest The Cure

Hello Dr. I had a fall and broke my Phemer bone at the top. complications from the rod that was put in and and a discharge has been oozing out for about 3 weeks just a bit. However I was put on an antibiotic and had side effects. then they switched to another kind and the same thing happened, After about one month from the break my legs and feet began swelling and then the next week I broke out in this horrible rash. It is terribly itchy and as the legs are still swelling results in pain. Three doctors and a skin specialist do not know the cause of the rash or itch. They then decided to take me of the antibiotics, I was on the antibiotics because of the wound leakage The hip is fine. I am a healthy person and otherwise.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your symptoms it looks drug induced or allergic dermatitis.

I will advise to apply polymyxin b cream, along with it continue moisturising cream.
You need to improve immunity by healthy food and exercises to combat against episodes.
You may need to check for internal infection due to implant in situ
If not relieved then you can consult your treating doctor.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
