Infection in Leg

Asked for Male, 72 years

My father 67 years old is having an infection on his right lower leg region. The region has redness and swollen. There also is pain and he gets the fever too sometimes. What should I do as, in my view, the treatment from our doctor is not very effective..?

Dear Patient,

Did your doctor do a pus/wound culture? If yes, depending on reports correct antibiotics should be given and response will be seen in 1-2weeks. If this isn't the case then kindly take a second opinion.
