Dear patient
if there is delayed wound healing swelling is common due to healing process and increased blood supply to the foot as part of inflammatory reaction. keep.limb elevated and wear crepe bandage. Swelling will reduce once healing is complete. Honey should not be applied on the wound. Betadine ointment or betadine powder should be applied to the open wound. Daily dressing and antibiotics such as cefixime should be taken. if wound is not healing please consult plastic surgeon around your area.
