How Can An Infection On The Leg Due To Lymphedema Be Treated?
Over the past two months, I have been treated for an infection in leg due to lyphedema. I have just finished my antibiotics but it s not getting better and seems to be leaking yellowish fluid instead of clear as before....I don t know what to do...Normally would get well after taking antibiotics but not this time....I think the smell is the worst of it all...What can I do?
If you were my patient , I would run some tests like CBC and culture of the fluid to determine the bacteria involved and start specific antibiotic for that organism.
