Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

Your mother is diagnosed as venous stasis ulcer. For this, augmentin is a very good antibiotic drug . It gives a good antibacterial coverage.

Dakins solution is also an antiseptic solution containing sodium hypochlorite.

You can use it for cleaning and washing ulcers.

Your mother has been given the correct treatment.

If you wish to discuss the problem further with me , you may ask through section of PREMIUM query , directed on my name.
Stay Healthy.
