Im an insulin dependent diabetic and have an infected cut on my foot. The initial antibiotic wasnt working so I went back to the doctor. He added another antibiotic and told me to keep my foot elevated. How does keeping the foot elevated help? It isnt swollen.
Hi, Elevating the leg only gives you relief from a pain and decreases induration and edema. As you are diabetic take care of this cut in foot and rule out any possibility of having diabetic foot. Go for proper Chat Doctor. Ok and take care.
