Healing time ankle injury

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

Hello Dr., I met with an accident last Monday and got my ankle injured, skin out from that area. It has occurred 8 days before and since then no healing on my injury. I have changed the doctor also and the second doctor has changed medicine twice and calling for dressing of injury once in 3days. The medicines are also thrice a day and a total of 5 different medicine. I just want to inquire that do the treatment is going in the correct direction or I should change the doctor, it came to my mind as 2nd Dr is calling for dressing once in three days and everytime we visit he changes the medicine. I want a second opinion on this. Please suggest. I have attached images of the prescription and the injury. Ankle_injury: Injury screnshot doctor2_treatment2: changed medicine from the 2nd doctor after completing 1st treatment of 3 days from same doctor.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Changing doctors is not a solution to your problem. Stick to one. You have not mentioned the medicines which you are taking also. The injury will take some time to heal. Kindly have patience. Consult a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain.
