Suggest Treatment For E Coli Infection In Breasts
i am wondering about what actually causes e coli in breasts. I have been in pain and have been on meds for 3 weeks. My doctors assistant stuck me twice with a needle thinking it was an abcess but after struggling to puncture it he got just enough fluid from it to run tests. The fluid he got was black and with a mix of blackish grey. I am tired of taking pills and tired of being in pain all the time, and since he tried to drain it all it does is itch and burn. what do i need to do. He won t take it out.

Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
you are suffering from breast abscess .if you had udergone culture and sensitive examination of your fluid drain from absess you need to taake antibiotic according to your sensitivity report . If cuture and sensitivity not performed, go for it to microbiology lab.
the most important thing in breast abscess is its complete incision and drainage is must along woth antibiotic treatmetn because as long as the source is not removed from your breast healing will not take place.
so youu should contact to general surgeon for its incision and drainage .
