Suggest remedy to reduce swelling in feet due to bite
Patient: Got my foot bit by something last night and it's swollen the whole foot and almost going to my toes, ect....it looks like blast trades n it's very swollen, don't know what to do, please help....went to ER and the waiting was 4 hrs so I've left but it's getting more more swollen.....Urgh ;( Doctor: Hello,My advise to you is consult your doctor as early as possible.You will need medications and detailed examination of bite site to see extent and type of inflammation.It would be useful, if you can remember bite is from which insect or animal. It will help your doctor to plan your treatment.You will be required to take anti allergic, analgesic, anti inflammatory medications and may be a course of antibiotics.If untreated your pain may increase and if swelling does not subside for a long duration may lead to tissue damage.Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to helpThank You,Dr. Narasimha G L
