What Is The Treatment Of Swollen Foot ?

I have a swollen foot after a bite I received a few days ago. The foot is red and burning. The redness seems to be travelling up my leg and I am concerned. I have applied some low grade steriod cream as advised by the pharmacist but the condition is worsening.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this could be cellulitis and steroid is contraindicated here you have to keep the leg in elevated position and for the swelling and redness this can be treated with the "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day" this could need antibiotic but for this clinical examination is must, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
