Developed Foot Swelling And Bruising After Treatment For Throat Infection. On Allergen Immunotherapy For Asthma. Cause?
I have allergic bronchial asthma and am currently undergoing allergen immunotherapy . Recently i contracted a throat infection that caused fever and took a painkiller. The fever subsided but my foot swelled up and i had a bruise . I m 26 years old, 5 6 and weigh 57 kgs. Should i be worried about my random bruised and swelled foot?

It does`nt appear that the swelling and bruising in your foot is related to your immunotherapy. You may take a course of antibiotics and chymoral forte and keep the foot raised(not hanging down). The swelling will pass off soon. However if swelling does`nt pass off you may have to consult a physician to rule out any DVT.
