Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

First of all you should be investigated as which type of infection you are having.

I suggest you to take swab from the infection wound and get its culture and sensitivity done.

If it says that you are having MRSA than you can start the treatment of MRSA. Otherwise you can take the treatment of the infection you are having as per the report.

This will not only diagnose you but also gives you a best treatment possible.

You can use polysporin ointment over the wound. Please also do good dressing and cleanliness. This will equally help as the antibiotics treatment.

Please maintain good diet as avoid high fat diet and take high protein and carbohydrate diet.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
