 [ Symptoms ] my son is 10 days in icu is it normal to cure infection for so long after suboccipital surgery [ Disease ] in my opinion this is long time for treating the infection as i have seen many cases in icu that are similar while less time of infection management after this surgery however i agree with dr ahmed fawzy it takes time but not as long as 3 weeks to deal with the problem if it is managed correctly and with high hospital infection control measures
