Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to help you in this.

As you have foot infection and you are on ciprofloxacin 500 mg , this is sufficient for you. Please complete the course of this drug.
I also suggest you to take Tab Dan P for pain.
If it resolve than its ok but if you do not feel better than consult a good surgeon for this. Do antibiotic sensitivity test and choose antibiotic according to sensitivity.
If pus accumulate than remove pus first.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
Dr Vijay
