What Are The Treatments For Liver Abscess?
My brother is detected with liver abscess on right lobe. He is being treated with ciprofloxacin IV fluids and a tube is insrted to ensure the drainage of abscess around one week ago. Some pus in red color is collected for two days abd after that fluid stopped coming. But doctor says it has to come and we will have to wait. They said it is in solid state and it may take some time and we will have to wait. Now they stopped giving antibiotics through IV fluids and giving the tablets. Please let us know if the same treatment has to be continued or should we shift the Hospital.

hi.
noted history of hepatic (liver) abscess. i agree with the management of your doctor, re drainage of the abscess and antibiotic treatment. a repeat ultrasonography and complete blood count will probably be recommended after completing the antibiotic regimen. your doctor may continue or discontinue the antibiotics depending on the repeat findings. a regular follow-up is recommended and you will be advised by your doctor accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
