September 10, 2013
Asked By:wildtulip

I took keflex for 5 days after surgery, but on the 13 day post surgery I had swelling near my eye on my nose and a lot of pain. Doctor drain the infection with a sereinge mostly pus and put me on SULFAMETHOXAZOLE-TMP DS for 7 days. The draining continues for 4 days. And finally the swelling did not build up again. Yesterday 7th day doctor told that everything is ok, but I still smell infection in my nose + I can feel similar to open wound in my nose. Also so scared after reading about "STAPH"
