Reoccurred abscess after surgery
I got a painful lump after injection which dr drained.but later it again reoccurred.Consulted dr with telemedicine due to covid he suggested SUMAG dressing with AUGMENTIN 1g 1 bd and CHYMORAL forte 1 td for 8 days. Now it ruptured and some pus came out. There is pain in it and I am still taking chymoral forte 1 bd .I want to know. If there is possibility for it to recover without surgery.?
If proper dressing is necessary or covering it with cotton with tape is sufficient?
Can it be fatal if left untreated?
Kindly suggest as due to covid proper treatment is not available here in my area.
TLC AND hb report is normal and she is not diabetic.
