What to do about a sore/swollen foot from blister?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See doctor : The foot might of gotten infected. Blisters are usually localized and don't routinely cause foot swelling. You may need an antibiotic.

Specializes in Podiatry

Infection???: "sore and swollen" are not usual problems after a blister. See a podiatrist to check for an infection or other potential problems.
