Patient's question:
The skate shoes are worn out. I disinfected them with hydrogen peroxide and applied Levaquin. But now my feet are swollen and even touching them hurts. I took one tablet of Cefuroxime. What should I do now? It hurts so much that I can't even walk anymore.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have skin corrosion on your feet and are now experiencing symptoms such as swelling and pain again. This cannot be ruled out as a possibility of wound infection. However, based solely on your description, a diagnosis cannot be made. You need to go to the hospital and have a doctor examine you.It is recommended that you visit the surgical department of the hospital for a follow-up examination. After the doctor's careful assessment, if the diagnosis is confirmed as an infection, active antibiotic treatment should be initiated. Intravenous fluids may be necessary if needed. For the patient, it is advisable to elevate the affected area and apply cold compresses to reduce inflammation. Try to minimize walking or standing. I hope my explanation helps you.
