Suggest Remedy For Pain In Leg Due To Infection From Boil
Hello doctor, I am writing on behalf of my mother. She is 45 yrs old, 61 kg. She has a kind of boil, it looks like an infection, on her left leg, near the knees.But she has extreme pain throughout the leg and her skin on the same thigh has turmed hard and red in colour which looks like a rash to me. The doc says, it is an infection and has led to pus formation that is causing the hardening! This is persistent since 4 days. The tablet suggested is moxikind along with paracetamol and anti-gastric tablets. Please suggest.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms of your mother suggests me that she may be having cellulitis of the thigh following the infected boil.
As she is having extreme pain throughout the leg and her skin on the same thigh has turned hard and red in color which has led to pus formation which is causing hardening of the thigh. For which your doctor has prescribed some medicines.
I would suggest you to follow under mentioned measures which will helps to improve the condition.
1.Tab Augmentin, 625 mg, twice daily for atleast five days.
2.Give hot fermentation which will reduces the hardening of the affected area.
3.Continue other medications prescribed by your doctor.
Thank you.
