Is Pain And Swelling In The Knees While Suffering From An Infection A Matter Of Concern?

I have pain in my left knee and a swollen left ankle and foot. 8 days ago my orthopedic doctor thought I had an infection in the skin layers of my knee, so he out me on Motrin and an antibiotic. While the knee stiffness I had then is gone, the pain and swelling lingers on. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
