Suggest Medication For Infection In The Belly Button Followed By Constipation

Im 17 years old and as of late, I haven't been feeling very well. The first symptom I had was a weird belly button smell. It smelt like poop kind of and there was a lot of discharge in my belly button. It was a weird color, kind of orange and it hurt a bit. But I didn't think anything of it. I just kept showering and cleaning, thinking it would improve which it did not. That began about 3 months ago in November. Since then, little by little, I've began to have problems using the bathroom. I have bad constipation. My appetite is different, I'm not hungry anymore. I constantly have severe headaches lasting for days. A couple weeks ago, I woke up and I could no longer see out of my peripheral vision, it was very blurry and it did not get better. I can barely sleep and I have night sweats. I'm in a lot of pain I have no idea whats wrong with me. I have depression and PTSD, and when i went to see the doctor they said i was sick because of that. I got put on Prozac and now my depression is gone, but physically i feel worse. I don't know whats going on

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Antibiotic amoxicillin 3x1g daily is reecommended for such infections and if this doesnt work you should try with Clyndamicin 3x600mg. You should also do abdominal ultrasound to rule out umbilical hernia since in this case it may require surgical procedure as well.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
