Leg injury
Due to an road incident, my sister's leg got injured and she got cut in her leg just above her anckel. Due to that her leg got swollen feet from last 9 days. She got inquiry 12 days ago but after 3 days her leg got swollen. It's difficult for her to walk and also her feet looks purple colour. No affect on her bones but there is some deep cut near bone area. Now after almost 2 week swollen feet have became little less but still it's swollen & she is not able to walk properly. Suggest some medicine or any home care for her. She is using some medicine for that but it's not working fast.
