Hi, I understand your question and I will help you
for such cases in my clinic, I would first exclude certain conditions:
Firstly :Cellulitis which is presented by redness and hotness in addition to pain.. certain investigations could help the diagnosis(Random blood sugar, EDR, CRP and CBC) .treatment include proper AB and limb elevation.
Also, DVT should be excluded by doing Duplex US
