Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
If Pus Culture and sensitivity is showing some growth and also, the organism is susceptible to the above mentioned antibiotics, any of them can be used, based on the organism grown.
I personally prefer to use Vancomycin in such cases.
Stay Healthy.
