Hai
Welcome to HCM.
You better test your discharge for culture and sensitivity test and according to the outcome of results your surgeon will prescribe the appropriate antibiotics. As you are having recurrences, you have to take a longer course of the not less than two weeks. Then use an soap containing antiseptic for few months. You will be alright.
