Suggest Remedy For Red Rashes On Left Calf

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.
