Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
is father had an infection called cellulitis right on his knee. They kept him in the hospital to give him antibiotics through the IV because he s leg was also swollen. He s been out two days and went to work yesterday and his leg started to swell up again. what can he do for the swelling?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to cellulitis. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
