How to treat foot injury?
Patient: Hi. I dropped something heavy on my foot yesterday afternoon and it still hurts. Mild swelling and bruising but I can t walk on my right foot ever since. There is a small bump where I dropped it and a small red dot, if I touch the red dot, unbearable pain sets in. Is it broken/fractured/or? Doctor: Hello,  We have to rule out fracture.  Consult an orthopaedician and get an X-ray to look for any thin fracture.  As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.   You can also apply ice packs for pain relief and faster recovery.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
