Hello, my son has a red rash on his left calf for the past 3 days. He went to the ER and was given a shot and was ordered antibiotics (CIPRO). He takes a pill every 12 hrs. There is no pain and no fever. Just very swollen. It has gotten worse than it was on day one.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction or a bacterial infection. As the condition is worsening, i advise you to consult your Dermatologist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Siva Subramanian.
