Asking For Someone else, Father, Male, 52 Years old, Batkhela
Assalam o Alaikom ! I want to ask about foot gangrene for my Father he is diabetic patient and now he has issues and infections with his right side foot. Please recommend me exactly treatment for this.
Consult near by endocrinologist or DIABETOLOGIST or make an appointment online.
it is better to consult surgeon so he can properly examine pts feet and then ll start treatment.anyhow if you want to start treatment capsule velosef 500mg three time per day for 5 days and then inform me .also tight control of diabetes is very necessary
it is necessary that he has a doppler test arterial and venous both to check blood supply , next he must be on insulin with good blood sugar control, thirdly he must consult a vascular surgeon
consult surgical specialist preferably a vascular surgeon please
Wa Alaikum Assalam.
Well, this kind of patients do not need online consultation rather than to be seen physically. you must consult a good Vascular Surgeon with good skills in minor surgeries. you may involve plastic surgeon for good cosmetic recovery. Mostly these kind of issues are due to PAD i.e Peripheral Arterial Disease and if minor can be corrected by peripheral angiography but if any major vessel is involved, entirely upon the consulting doctors.
I personally advise you to go for the best Hospital in locality with excellent hygienic environment within the Operation theatre.
Best of luck for your dad's early recovery.
regards
