You just need to take oral antibiotics for 7 days and you should be fine.

Hi, Kilokahn is right, oral antibiotics is good, if severe infection maybe IV-Antibiotics. (or a combination of two).
Increased cleaning with an antibacterial solution and regulary changing of the gazes/Dressings is also important.
Then you should be fine.

minimal pain now after wound sites cleaned and started oral anti
they shd have started earlier
which is the American protocol
thank god but I would not  reconsider LL even if I had such pains
and I feel better and fever goes down
I can say, from feeling 3/10 now I feel 9 or 10/10
