Met With Motorbike Accident. Knee Is Swollen And Bruised. Given Strong Antibiotics To Clear The Infection. Appears Red. What To Do?
Thanks for posting your query,
From your description there seems to be some inflammation over your knee.
As you are earlier treated for infection of knee 10 months back, there might be possibility of flare up of infection again.
I suggest you to get some blood test like total leucocyte count (TLC), differential leucocyte count (DLC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), c-reactive protein (CRP), done and consult your doctor for examination of knee.
Meanwhile give rest to your knee and take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask if you have any further query.
Regards.
