A member asked:
I have an open sore on my neck and its leaking yellow fluid. i have had 2 round of antibiotics, it comes back when i finish them. what wrong with me?

Open sore: Well, without seeing it and talking to you, it's hard to tell anything. Chances are, the sore is misdiagnosed and no antibiotics are need whatsoever. Another option - the infection is not being susceptible to the antibiotics used. A wound culture may be helpful determining the choice of the antibiotic in case of infection.
