I am currently taking a 14 day antibiotic regimen for HPylori. I am having labs drawn in a few days and would like to know if the antibiotics is going to affect the numbers on my blood test? The main ones I'm worried about being affected is the hemoglobin number and then the PTT and PT with INR. These numbers are the main ones my plastic surgeon will be requesting. Thanks
I had a tummy tuck April 15th... everything went well until 2 weeks ago when I noticed a spot about 1/2 an inch in length with some puss. I went to my plastic surgeon and the medical assistant said it was a suture abscess that it would heal on its own. I've kept it clean and have been applying OTC antibiotic ointment. Now it's almost a week later and it doesn't look better. In fact when i cleaned it today i got puss and blood and also noticed two black spots. Any suggestions?
I had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago and my bellybutton started leaking right after the stitches were removed at 1 week, my incision right below my belly button starting leaking dark red and sometimes yellow fluid at exactly 2 weeks post op, causing it to open at the center. I went to see my doctor, he gave prescribed clyndamicina and another antibiotic for 10 days. Its been 1 week after I started the 2 antibiotics, I see little or no improvements. Lab work came body not responding to antibiotics
I had to have medical clearance from my Cardiologist. I see the Cardiologist because I have a Heart murmur (Vsd). She did a stress test and Echocardiogram. Everything came back okay and she cleared me for surgery with one condition that the surgeon give me IV Antibiotics before surgery. Today I received and email letting me know the Surgeon and his Anesthesiologists will go over my clearance and decide. I am wondering if Ill be able to have surgery. Or is giving me antibiotic serious?

Since been flushing the drain hole with saline,Then packing with iodine soaked swab each day.Worried as when I remove the swab it has grey pus, the hole isnt getting smaller, been on antibiotics 3 weeks. Whats going to happen when I finish them? Will the hole close itself or more surgery? Grateful for any opinions!
Hello. I notice many patients have the tape/steri strips over their tummy tuck incisions. I had a horrible reaction to the strips with my last c-section which left my stomach itchy, red and blistered and I had to take antibiotics. Is there an alternative to the strips following the tummy tuck procedure?
My doctor says I do not need them. I had abdominal prolapse , hernia repair and a ton of scar tissue removed. I had entire large instine removed and have a J pouch. I had MRSA with vancomycin 15 years ago and have had shingles twice. This entire ordeal has not worked out like I was told. Im in pain and not on any medication other than ibuprofen
I had a staph infection a couple weeks after surgery on my insidious line thats now cleared. Ive been packing it and keeping it very clean. Ill go ahead and mention that I am a RN...five days ago my upper stomach plus my belly button started to swell and turned bright red and was supper hot. I made an apt with my doc. He prescribed me an antibiotic and recultured my small wound (not currently my problem). That was yesterday. Im now running a 101+ fever, and I overall feel horrible.
