 [ Symptoms ] had staph infection for about 10 days with bactrim ds swelling is all but gone but still pink around scab ideas  i have had a staph infection for about 10 days with bactrim ds swelling is all but gone but it is still pink and occasionally stings at scab ideas using an antiseptic wash morning and night and neosporin topically one day is antibiotic left do you think it is going to get better [ Disease ] 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
