Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are having swelling your right foot going up to your knee.This may be infection as your doctor said. Whether you are also having fever? Infection may need time to be under control. You are already on antibiotics. For pain relief and reduction of swelling you may take analgesic such as ibuprofen.Vitamin B and C help in general healing.If you have fever you may need incision and drainage (operation). You can get its MRI to further investigate it. You are also having nose bleeds so please get checked your BT And CT and other investigations for bleeding disorders.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
