Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Husband has a small bite on ankle. It showed up Saturday but it is swollen today and a little sore around his ankle. The outside of the bite hasn t changed at all. Just likes a small pin prick. He put ice on it last night and that helped some, but it s swollen again today. There are no red circles around it, no stipes - nothing. I have called our doctor but haven t heard back yet, thought I d try this. : ) thanks! ~kj
It could be a contusion probably. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
A short course of antibiotics can also be considered. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
