Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Elbow

Aspiration and microbiological examiantion needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query.
You need to get aspiration of fluid from elbow swelling and the send it for culture and microscopic examination. Simply taking antibiotics will not help you.
Apply beta-dine ointment over the swelling then apply crepe bandage over it.
Till then take painkillers like ibuprofen.
Get your xray of affected elbow in AP and Lateral view done and send me the report along with report of fluid.
Do not touch the swelling area repeatedly just go to ER and there doctor will do all this I have explained to you.
I hope it helps.
