Q. My sister's infected wounds are releasing green liquid and blood. Please help.
Hi doctor,
My sister is having a wound infection on both feet. Initially, it started as a boil. After that, it became bigger like a wound. It started releasing green liquid constantly and sometimes blood comes from it. It was forming scabs a few days back. After that, it started releasing green liquids again. She took Cloxacillin for a few days.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your sister is having a recurrent infection. It is caused due to various causes. It is caused due to poor hygiene, poor immune response, and environmental problems. Please mention the dose of Cloxacillin taken. Please mention whether she has continuous itching and so she scratches it continuously. Please mention whether she has any illness such as diabetes, tuberculosis, allergies to food, or medications. Please mention whether any of your family member is suffering from similar issues. Please mention whether she has boils on her feet alone and anything in arms, legs, armpits, buttocks, and scalp. Cloxacillin is one of the appropriate drugs to be taken but it should be taken at the right dose and timing. She can take Clindamycin 300 mg one capsule every six hours for ten days, and Cloxacillin 500 mg one capsule every six hours for seven days. She needs to have appropriate wound care with soap and water. Keep the affected area dry and avoid having wetness on it. If she has discharge again, then she does not require dressing. You can apply gauze and change it as required. Thank you.
