Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic
You have got catheter associated infection at the site. I would strongly advice to visit your physician or nearest hospital for the treatment.
You require consultation and certain diagnostic test to know the causative bacterial agent for the infection based on which antibiotic and other supportive treatment can be initiated.
Hope this is clear to you
Thanks
