Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
I hope your husband feels better soon ,
septic arthritis means infection within the joint space , usually such infection is of a chronic type so requires
biopsy needle aspiration to choose the best treating antibiotic after culture and sensitivity .
For now i recommend elevation of his infected leg ,avoid bending it for a long period of time , alphintern anti inflammatory tabs before his meals , painkillers like
tylenol tabs 400 mg , and a wide spectrum antibiotic will help him to withstand pain till he reaches his specialist .
