Will Antibiotics Helpful For Diabetic Foot Infection?
I have diabetes 2. I believe to be non insulin dependant.
I have an infection in my right foot toe (second toe). The doctor said it was an infection of the bone. It shows on the xray that the very end of bone seems to be gone. Will anti biotics take care of this infection.
