FOOT SAVED!

This small boy is the son of one of our Night School Teachers. We were shocked when we saw the condition of his foot which was badly infected and had not received proper treatment We took him straight to Dr. Kumar. The foot was lanced and cleaned and antibiotics were given. Only just in time before more serious conditions would set in. The boy is now fine. The foot looks normal and he is walking again. The pain has subsided. Lucky the situation was caught in time and dealt with properly. Situations like this often develop to the extent that blood poisoning sets in, leading to dangerously high fever, maybe resulting in permanent damage to the brain. Of course the foot itself could also have been lost. Happy ending this time though!
