Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Foot

Hi, My right foot is swollen on the toes and front of the foot and behind the toes. It is so itchy!! What could cause this? We did spend a few days at a Hotel this week and I walked without slippers on the carpet once and once in the bathroom at the Hotel. Could this be related?

Hi welcome to health care magic....

As you have history of walk on bare foot, there might be insect bite on foot...

So you can have reaction to insect bite...

You can take antihistaminic drug like levocetrizine for that...

If inflammation more than short term steroid can be given....

If you post photo than more comment can be given....

Advise : Better to consult nearby doctor for examination and further treatment..

Take care
