Suggest Remedy For Abscess With Infection

Hello my husband went to ER yesterday and was told it was an abcess with infection. We have to go back today and get it drained. They prescribed antibiotics and tramadol. Is it normal to hurt so badly that he can't walk? My husband is 27, 5'8, 180 pnds, and no medical problems.

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.

Yes, severe pus draining can be helpful for early healing.

Only antibiotics will not help in treating the infections for such a severe infections. Once we drain the infection the infection load will start decreasing.

You can also do culture and sensitivity from the pus collected. Drugs taken according to the sensitivity report will cure you rapidly.

Please maintian good hygiene, as good hygiene can help prevent and cure the infections as taking antibiotics.

You can do dressing and cleaning with savlon, hydrogen peroxide. After application of the polysporin ointment can also help.

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

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
