My mom is a type 2 diabetic, and she scraped the back of her ankle on the door yesterday. I cleaned it with some wound cleaner, peroxide, triple antibiotic ointment, applied gauze and bandaged the area. Today she is experiencing chills, weakness, loss of appetite, and the cut is still bleeding (it was pretty deep).
Hi, check her blood sugar. This may happen if it is out of control. In any case I think she needs an oral antibiotic. Please consult her doctor for this--regards
