Suggest Treatment For Skin Infection In Lower Foot

I was operated for absess in the rib zone and was asked for precaution of infection. This was 5 years back. Within 6 months i was dowmn with Pnemonia due to foul smell of Pigeon shit smell. At present i had skin infection in my loweg leg, and i scratched it. while on the road a truck with Chikens was parked and again i got infection. I have been prescribed CLAVAM 625 AND ditide tab for controlling swelling. The redness with itching sensation still remains and pains on touch. The swlling on lower foot is inconsistent. Please advise.

You have to continue antibiotics Clavam 625 as prescribed by your doctor for skin infection of your lower foot along with combiflam or ibugesic-plus every 8-12 hours for swelling and inflammation with Avil or cetrizine for itching. You can use neo-sporin powder or soframycin cream for local application. Do regular dressing under strict aseptic precautions to prevent further infection.
