Hi,

You have mentioned swelling around the ankle joints with a H/O medications for TB and some morning pills also.

I want to actually see the kind of swelling present, any associated pain, skin redness, fever etc?

Also kindly send me any relevant investigations done by you especially recent blood tests, so that i can see and let you know. Please also mention your co-morbid conditions and drug allergy.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Akshay Kumar Saxena
