Suggest Remedy For Bacterial Infection
My wife aged 51 (In good general health) had a buckle fitted last Friday for a detached Retina, after two days she developed an eye
infection, the buckle had to be removed which had pus round the sponge.
For one day she was ok then identical infection returned, it was determined from growing bacteria from
the pus that it is the Pseudomonas bacteria.
She has had 24 hours of targeted antibiotics but the infection does not seem to be improving
any help would be appreciated

Hope an antibiotic sensitivity was done with the culture. If yes ,wait for 48-72 hrs for a response. It might take a bit longer ,considering the nature of Pseudomonal infections.
