How long does a large turf burn infected wound take to heal? completed 10-day antibiotic, and prescribed 5 more days, but i know i will need more as wound is still there, it is healing but slowly. the white is still there and red around, draining?

It really depends how deep the wound is. You're looking for a finite time frame which is not realistic. If the would is not healing, see your physician.
