What Causes Swelling On Foot After An Injury?
Triamcinolone:steroid,need prpphylactic antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help.
To start off with, triamcinolone is a moderately potent corticosteroid which takes care of symptoms like itching, swelling, etc. As you bruised your knee, which is open to infection the topical cream/ointment you should have been using should have preferrably been an antibiotic, which would prevent infection (as just cleaning may not suffice).
Secondly, with your foot; this could most probably be due to an injury sustained during the same fall, but with any previous symptoms. Other plausible causes could include side effects of using triamcinolone. Please also note that when triamcinolone is applied directly to a region of infection, it can make it worse.
I would thus request you to meet a doctor and address the wound if at all it has been infected, and the swollen feet/foot.
I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications sir, I would be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes.
