Please visit ER ASAP.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
I have read the full history provided by you and about the present problem of swelling in the right calf which is hot, reddish and indents on pressure.
With this condition I would advise you to visit ER as soon as possible as this is indicative of an active infection.
In view of your known conditions of diabetes, cirrhosis, neuralgia this infection can lead to serious side effects too, can increase blood sugar, can cause septicemia and further complications.
You need to have detailed blood investigations for CBC/ WBC, Sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests as others as may be needed as per your old history and present condition on clinical examination by the Doctor, examination of the swelling, aspiration under ultrasonography guidance if the pus is present for testing it for gram staining, culture and sensitivity.
You need to be started on suitable antibiotic and symptomatic and supportive treatment ASAP as it is already 6 days.
I hope this answer helps to get a proper clinical diagnosis and proper treatment.
