Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take Cefadroxil twice daily for five days, take serratiopeptidase and Aceclofenac combination twice a day for five days, take Omeprazole twice a day for five days. Take swollen leg up and take rest as much as possible, don't drink too much alcohol. It is harmful to the body.
