Suggest Treatment For Staph Infection On The Left Leg
I have gotten a staph infection on my left leg as the result of a pheumatic air pump being put on that leg during a knee meniscus operation on my right leg. What ointment should I get for the open wound that I have now? Three nurses and one Doctor pushed pus and blood out of the wound 5 days ago and it is still draining. The gauze bandages kept sticking to the wound every time I changed the bandage. I was on Bactine but am going to take Keslex because the antibiotic Bactrine started making me sick to my stomach with cramps.

Hi,
It signifies an infection when there is pus oozing out of the wound. Its ideal to start with an antibiotic like Keflex. In addition to it, regular dressings and an ointment like Fucidin should also hasten the healing process.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
