Answer: Breast implants are infected
Fever, chills, red areas on breasts, pain swelling, purulent odorous drainage are just a few things to indicate an infected implant. Call your PS ASAP!

Answer: Possibly Infected Breast Implants
From your description is is hard to tell WHO put you on antibiotics. IF it was your Plastic surgeon, then I think it is time to discuss what the next step in management of these possibly infected implants may be: change combination of oral antibiotics, switch to intravenous antibiotics or surgery to remove the implants. IF another doctor wrote for the antibiotics, I would urge you to see your surgeon immediately. Only he should be managing this issue.
