What Causes The Formation Of Pus At The Surgical Site?

Hi Doctor, I have met with an accident on March 8, 2014 and got my both leg (tibia as well fibula) fractured. My legs were operated: right leg on March 9, 2014 and left leg on March 21, 2014 I am walking with the help of walker from May 22, 2014. Now I got wound just upon the screws (that are fixed with IM nail) in right leg, it got punctured on July 5, 2014 and started oozing pus. The pus culture sensitivity report says it has staphylococcus epidermidis- moderate growth and it shows sensitivity and resistant to various antibiotics. The bacteria is sensitive to Clindamycin and my doctor had giver me Dalacin C 300mg tablet (which has Clindamycin) and advised me to have it three times a day. Some other Doctors says me I need to be operated and get my screws removed. My question is what should I do and what is preferable to do in this case. Thanks, Omkar Keshri

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that first of all you have to take antibiotics to cover up the infection. If you cover up with the infection it is not required to be operated upon to you. So do not worry take your antibiotics and look towards improvement.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
