A non-healing, swollen foot wound requires a doctor?s evaluation rather than switching medicines on your own. Mixing multiple topical treatments like mupirocin, povidone-iodine, and neomycin/bacitracin can actually irritate the wound and delay healing. Since your current oral amoxicillin/clavulanate is not working, a doctor needs to examine the wound. They may perform a culture to identify the exact bacteria and prescribe targeted antibiotics. They should also check for underlying factors like blood sugar levels. For now, avoid applying multiple creams together. Clean the wound gently with normal saline, keep it covered with a clean dressing, and elevate your foot to reduce swelling. Please visit your healthcare provider soon for proper guidance.
