It could be Cellulitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description,it looks like Cellulitis, i.e, infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Linezolid 600mg twice daily, Anti inflammatory tablet containing Aceclofenac twice daily after food for 7 days initially.Depending on the response,I will extend the treatment.Elevation of the affected limb will have beneficial effect
I also ask for Colour Doppler of the affected limb to rule out vascular pathology.
Nothing to worry.Please consult a Surgeon and proceed further.
Do not apply anything over the swelling.
Nothing to worry.It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery
Regards
