i wish that i could address your question but without the ability to see your infection first-hand i would only be making a blind guess (not something that medical providers like to do). my suggestion to you is to call your medical provider -- someone who has seen this infection and is treating you -- for patient specific advice. this infection is being treated and managed appropriately so i cannot imagine that you will not get better.
had staph infection for about 10 days. with bactrim ds swelling is all but gone but still pink around scab. ideas? . i've had a staph infection for about 10 days. with bactrim ds swelling is all but gone but it's still pink and occasionally stings at scab. ideas? using an antiseptic wash morning and night and neosporin topically. one day's antibiotic left. do you think it's going to get better?
