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.
What Causes Itching Sensation And Swelling In In My Foot?
My daughter complained of an itchy foot on the top of her foot yesterday, said an ant bit her. Tonight, it's very swollen and in the bath, it's real red and now bruised, all the way to the ankle. Should I be concerned? We are in the south and are expecting a severe weather event tomorrow. Should I take her to the doctor before we get snowed in?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The symptoms your daughter is having is likely to be due to the bite of a poisonous insect. This needs steroids and other anti allergics to control the reaction. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
