General Surgeon,  's  Response
It seems that you have inflammation of the soft tissues of the instep of your foot. You will have to give rest to your foot, walk as minimal as is possible till the knot resolves completely. Antibiotics would be required. If your serum creatinine is normal, then Tab Augumentin 625 mg 8 hourly after food for 5 days will help. Later on, once this episode is over, please wear soft insoled footwear, to prevent future such problems.
