Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are a known case of diabetes for which you are on treatment. Following the surgery the wound was infected for which your doctor has advised some antibiotics to control the infections.

It will be alright in few more days, if the infection is persisting even after taking antibiotics, you need to undergo blood culture to find out culture and sensitivity. There by we can prescribe the antibiotic to which you are sensitive.

Good blood sugar control will help to heal the wound rapidly.
Thank you.
