How serious is a cut with stitches on a foot for a diabetic person?
My father is a diabetic, who cut is big toe and ended up with 4 stitches. He has had a course of strong oral antibiotics for 10 days. After the first 10 days of these oral antibiotics his wound was still infected. So his doctor gave him an antibiotic shot and 10 more days of oral antibiotics. Three weeks later the wound is getting dry to where the skin is peeling but now his entire foot upto his ankle is completely swollen, red and warm and still has pus on it.
