Thank you for following up. I understand your concern. He has diabetes feet and he has risk of gangrenous infection. You should immediately hospitalize him to surgical department. He needs:
- in improvement of microcirculation-Pentoxifylline(Trental) 1 tablet 2 times for 2 weeks;
-antibiotic therapy: Aminoglycosides (Amikacin);
-consulting of surgeon;
-control of blood sugar.
Best regards
