Swelling and pain on upper right foot
My mother (84y) has severe pain and swelling on right upper foot since 5 days. It started on its own. We showed it a Ortho doctor and he said since there was no injury, just to keep ice compress and apply some ointments like volini.
But it's been 5 days, it's still the same. The pain worsens on even on slight walking She has no diabetic issues and her general health is good.
I am not sure which doctor to show it to. Is it orthopedic issue or should I show to a physician? Can someone please suggest a remedy? Thanks a lot, in advance.
