Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Yes, high polymorphs means acute infection.
2. Possible bacterial infection. Continue with antibiotics.
3. At present not blood infection, only localized infection. Continue treatment.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
