What Causes Left Foot Swelling Inspite Of Suffering From Cellulitis In Left Leg?
My husband is 2 days home after hospital stay with cellulitis/staph infection in left leg from knee down. New symptoms that have developed today are left ankle/foot swelling & foot cold but still has a good pulse in the foot. What is this? Should he return to ER? He has no fever but feels miserable and not well at all. Thank you for your time.
