Decreased Hemoglobin Levels 7. Restlessness 8. Inconsistent heart-rate 9. Cloudy White secretions from mouth when sleeping resembling mucus Doctors diagnosed: 1. Sepsis 2. Diabetic Foot Ulcer (Infected) Finally, undergone a surgery which resulted in amputation of 4 fingers of the foot.

Currently, the wound is being regularly washed with a solution of normal saline water and Dettol. After that, it is being bandaged with honey dressings twice a day.

I am very much concerned about the wound. I request for expert opinions about this case.

Images of the wound are attached. Looking forward for your response.
