Suggest Remedy For Painful Infection With White Fluid Discharge On Hand Tips And Foot
Hi Sir, My dad has severe infection in his hands tips and foot. Even white fluid is coming out of it. It is painful. He is unable to walk easily dye to that. Please suggest. He has been applying Clodid B cream on it on prescription of a doctor. But no improvement.
If the infection is fungal, it is possible that he may need to take an oral anti fungal medication.
In some types of fungal infections, there is no response to topical medication (creams and ointment), oral medication is needed. This may be the case for him.
A bacterial infection can sometimes go along with a fungal, so if this has occurred, treatment for this would also be needed.
Anti inflammatory pain medication may help with the pain eg naproxen, cataflam, ibuprofen.
He should go back to his doctor, or another doctor for review.
I hope this helps
