Can Penicillin Cure Infection In G Tube?
Yes, I am a woman with a g-tube that has two colors of gree fluid, brow and red drainage coming out of my g-tube. The drainage has been going on for over 7 months. Most of the hospice agencies have disregard it. Now the gree drainage is very thick and has been thick for over 3 months. I finally was able to get an Rx for the infection. It is penicillin of 5 days. Is this going to cure the infections?

Hello,
Penicillin has got good coverage in such conditions. You can also plan for a culture and sensitivity of the discharge and chose the antibiotics according to the culture reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
