Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Knee
I fell a couple weeks ago on a sidewalk and beat up my knee pretty bad, it did get infected and my doctor did put me on antibiotics, it has gotten allot better but is still red and the center definitely hasn t totally healed but now I have a blister that is surrounded it and I was wondering if that was something I needed to worry about

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to septic arthritis.
Transmission of infection can occur through knee injury.
I would suggest to consult the orthopaedic surgeon and undergo synovial fluid aspiration and blood tests like CBC, ESR, CRP.
Doctor will give following advices:
Antibiotic course like augmentin for 10 days
Apply warm pad application
Physiotherapy
Crepe bandage
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further health query
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
