I have a breast infection and had drainage and breast incision done today, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast infection: Follow the doctors instructions. Complete antibiotic therapy if given. Change dressings as recommended. Keep any follow up appointments. See what the results of the cultures showed and that the antibiotics covered those bacteria.
