My father is diabetic. His right thumb is swollen near the tip and nail from last 10 days. The thumb is very painful, full of pus, swollen and the pain is excruciating when the thumb hits anything. I have been taking an antibiotic called linezolid from past 5 days but there has been no improvement. Please help. It's very difficult for him.

Is his blood sugar under control. U can try homeopathy. Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. And homeopathic medicines are safe and do not have any side effects at all.

If it's not responding to antibiotics and painkiller, better to go for surgical drainage of pus for immediate relief and early recovery.
