hello,
i can understand your concern.
it is nothing but abscess over the legs due to bacterial infection.
a culture sensitivity is advised to know the antibiotic to be prescribed.
antibiotics like augmentin 625mg(amoxicillin+clavulanate) to be taken three times for five days would be sufficient in your case.
an anti inflammatory drug like aceclofenac 200mg is also advised to be taken twice for five days.
hope i have answered your concerns.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
