Suggest Treatment For Pus Discharge From Boil While On Antibiotics

default
Posted on Mon, 29 Jun 2015
Question: Ok I was treating my burst boil and it's looking good. I am on antibotics. I'm still bandaging it up and I sniffed the bandage to see if there is odor. There is only a speck of blood and a tinge of very light green on the bandage. Did I do anything wrong?

Brief Answer:
no

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Considering your description there is no need to be concerned. Small amount of blood,puss or greenish discharge is expected after such abscesses and if there is no increasing pain redness or volume of boil then you should just continue as you did. Wish you good health.Regards
