asked

A floor in an old house gave way under one leg, causing a hard bang to the elbow and a 3/4" deep cut. The cut was butterflyed and healed well, but X-rays showed no issues. Now, five days later, the arm is badly swollen from the elbow down to the hand, with significant redness and heat. Antibiotics were taken as directed, but the condition is not improving. When were the antibiotics prescribed, and have you seen a doctor about the redness?
