What Causes Pain And Pus On The Catheter Inserted Place?

hi..DOc, my father just had angiogram few days back and discharged the next day. After discharged he was having pain on the same leg where they did the procedure. The leg became swollen and few golf sized lump appreared on the sole of the feet. The pain became worse and he had high fever. We called the doc and was advise to give him Paracetamol.

Kindly advise asap. because really worried of him. Thanking you in advance. By the way he is a diabetic patient fr the past 10 years.
