What Causes Swelling And Inflammation In The Legs?
my husband has been having trouble with redness and swelling in his legs , He has been on a couple rounds of antibiotics for infection which seemed to help . Today the redness is coming back in them and he has 2 small blister looking sores that are oozing a small amount of clear fluid . Does he need to go to the emergency room ?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Based on the symptoms and signs mentioned, an infection is present in the leg and he should be seen as soon as possible.
It would be best for him to go to the emergency department if he cannot access his doctor today
It is possible that he may need an oral course of antibiotics
I hope this helps
