Yes, it’s generally safe to take both injection and tablets if prescribed together, but this combination (antibiotic + steroid injection + tablets) is quite strong. Steroids can sometimes worsen infections if not used carefully. Since your wound is red, draining and painful, it likely needs proper monitoring.
Continue medicines as prescribed, but don’t self-add or skip anything. Keep the area clean and dry. If redness, pus, pain or fever increases, consult immediately—may need review or change in treatment.”

It looks like your dryness has turned into a local infection which is why you have redness, yellow discharge, pain, and mild fever.
The medicines prescribed are appropriate to control the infection and inflammation. Taking both injections and tablets together is generally s
afe for a short duration under a doctor’s guidance.
You may have mild side effects like:
* Stomach upset or loose stools
* Slight gastric irritation
Next Steps
Keep the area clean and dry
* Avoid tight footwear
* Do not use old steroid creams on the open wound
Health Tips
If pain, swelling, or fever increases, or pus discharge worsens, please follow up with your doctor.

When localized 'dryness' on the feet progresses to a draining wound with yellow liquid, pulsating pain, and systemic symptoms like fever and body aches, it indicates a Secondary Bacterial Infection (Cellulitis or infected dermatitis). The clinical decision to use both injectable and oral antibiotics (Gentamicin and Claribid) along with corticosteroids (Betnesol and Wysolone) is a high-intensity 'attack' protocol designed to rapidly control both the infection and the severe inflammatory response
Next Steps
Complete the Full Course: Never stop the antibiotics (Claribid) early, even if the wound looks 'dry' and the fever goes away. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Wound Care: Gently clean the area with normal saline. Apply the Flucort-N ointment as prescribed, but ensure the wound is allowed to 'breathe' and is not kept in a damp, enclosed environment.
Elevation: Keep your feet elevated above the level of your heart whenever sitting or lying down. This reduces the pulsating pain by helping fluid drain away from the wound.
Monitor for Spreading: If you see a red line spreading up your foot or leg, or if the fever rises above 102°F, seek emergency care immediately.
Mandatory Follow-up: Because you are using high-potency corticosteroids and antibiotics simultaneously, a formal clinical follow-up in 48 hours is mandatory. A doctor needs to ensure the yellow drainage has stopped and that the infection is receding.

your body is fighting hard, and this 'double-up' of medicine is the support it needs right now.
Book a follow-up consultation in two days so we can check the healing progress and ensure we can safely taper off the steroids once the swelling is gone."
