I had foot surgery almost 3 weeks ago. I saw my podiatrist yesterday, because I am having pain and redness. He said it was infected and put me on some antibiotics. This evening the foot looks worse, redder and more drainage. Is this normal? For it to get worse before it gets better? I'll admit the pain is much less today, and I have only been on the meds for 24 hrs. How long should I wait until I call the doctor back? I don't want to worry unnecesarily, but I don't want to get blood poisoning either!
