Asked By:AimeeJ1988 in Overland Park, KS

I took off my bra to shower and noticed my incesion following the T line had a medium red circle that was warm to the touch. There are also some small areas on that same incesion line that have little red spot with fluid in them, I know it's fluid because when I touched them the fluid moves. Called my Doctor today and he called me in Bactrum DS 800-160 and wants to see me tomorrow to examine it. What is this antibiotic? Is it strong enough to cure infections?
