How To Cure Wound On The Right Butt Causing Extreme Pain And Lethargy?
I have a history of osteomylitis and MRSA. I also have myelomeningocele L-5 S-1. I have a wound on my right buttock, I have been experiencing extreme lethergy and pain where I usually do not have sensation. My wound care doctor cultured my wound. I do not have a fever, chills or anything of that nature at this time. Should I be concerned about infection?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern if the wound if infected then care has to be taken for infection, if I would be your doctor then I would manage the wound with the following line of treatment, 1) plain dressing with sterilize gauze ( No need to apply any antibiotic) 2) Cap Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid twice d day 3) Tab Vitamin C chewable tab three times in day hope this information helps you take care and have nice day.
