A member asked:
If on antibiotics since the beginning of abcess and problem seems to be going away, what are chances of getting a brain abcess/infection from this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will be unusual: If the abscess is resolving and you are feeling better, it will be very unusual to get a brain abscess, though its not impossible - depending on the type of bacteria causing the abscess.
