Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
If there are also warm leg and redness, it mostly be due to inflammatory process. This swelling may be abcess and should be surgival evacuated by orthopaedic surgeons, but you should also start by amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 1.5gm injection twice daily for one week. This is emergency case and you should deal quickly.Investigation like CBC, blood sugar randum and fasting should be evaluated.
