Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello thankyou for your contact to healthcaremagic. If I am your treating doctor, I would like to tell you that wound infection is very prolong I suspect a multidrug resistant organisms must have been grown in the wound. I advice you to take culture and sensitivity of the wound discharge. Once the result of your culture and sensitivity is out. You than switch to antibiotics which is sensitive to drug shown on culture report. I assure you that wound must be treated at 3X speed. Once the infection is under control you can get the suture to your wound and get healed. If you have anything else to ask kindly contact me Dr. Arun Tank; Infectious disease specialist.
