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.
Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Toes
My husband has been suffering with swollen, painful toes. It is his 3rd and 4th toe on his right foot. He had a plantar wart on the bottom of same foot. The wart is gone now but his toes are still red, swollen, and very painful. He complains that it feels like he is having a charley horse between these two toes. His podiatrist told him to ice it and put 1% hydrocortisone (over the counter). He had been doing this for several days and still no relief.
Hi In view of the history you have provided In my opinion your husband is suffering from cellulitis of the toes. I Suggest that you start antibiotics, anti inflammatory pain killers and daily dressing with sumag. Keep the limb elevated on a pillow . If there is no relief in 5 days , consult your local doctor.
