What do you recommend for my father's cellulitis leg?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My father got a wound in his leg in a small accident. He is a diabetic, and because of this reason, cellulitis has occurred in his leg. We took a treatment for that, but the treatment is somewhat doubtful to us. He is on Distaclor CD 375 and Debridase ointment.
Please give us a suggestion.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
We are here to help you.
In evaluating his case, my recommendations would be that he should be admitted for a week and should be given injectable broad-spectrum antibiotics according to his culture and sensitivity report. He would also require a color Doppler of his leg to rule out any evidence of deep vein thrombosis.
He would require Insulin for perfect control of blood sugar till his wounds heal. This is the best way out for him. So, visit your doctor and discuss my opinion.
I hope that this answers your query.
Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
