Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you probably got the infection of your elbow which are controlled by antibiotics and analgesics. Now you got infection in your foot. I think you should take same course of antibiotics after consulting your doctor as these were effective in elbow are also likely to be effective in foot. Analgeic such as ibuprofen are effective in pain relief. Vitamin-B complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
