Antibiotic For Pain And Sweeling Foot
UpdatedMy foot bumped with a sofa corner and got a painful and swelling reaction right away. It's been a week already but the swelling and the pain just don't stop.

An antibiotic will only help if you have an infection, such as what might occur if your foot was cut or scraped and bacteria got into the wound. An infection would not occur immediately, it would take a few days to set in and cause any swelling or problems.
In addition, if you use an antibiotic, when you don't have an infection, you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which could cause serious medical issues in the future.
If it swelled immediately after the injury, it is not likely an infection, but something else. It could be a broken bone or a sprain.
Have you visited a doctor, yet, to get it checked?
