 [ Symptoms ] my 6 year old was diagnosed with cellulitis what do i do [ Disease ] this type of swelling in your foot is due to localized joint problem or electrolytes imbalance the steroid will not increase that swelling and if it is due to joint inflammation it will possibly heal it i̇f the swelling did not become better by ice elevation and anti inflammatory drug then you will need to see a specialist for some kidney checkup nothing to worry so far
