since he s diabetic he have less immunity
since he had a injury to his limb it won't heal as quick as normal person
since he s on antibiotic looks like his wound s infected
as in history his limb swells up it shows patient injury caused cellulitis so he need admission and treatment
It may go for septic shock if untreated.
