Suggest Treatment For Toe Infection
I'm on antibiotics for a toe infection on the top of my toe. The open wound is clearing up but there are still signs of pus. My worry is the toe is still swollen and bright red. Should I just keep taking the antibiotics until they are done or should I do something else at this point?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having toe infection gor which you have been advised antibiotics. The cause for the toe infection should be found out by thorough examination.
If the symptoms are not coming down even after taking the antibiotic the pus culture should be done to find out the reason for pus even after taking the antibiotics.
Culture and sensitivity will helps to find out the effective drug for your symptoms.
Thank you.
