Hi there, This is Dr Basu, Experienced Specialist. I am here to address your concerns and provide great service.

Dr Basu :

These symptoms are already concerning.

Dr Basu :

THis can be a MRSA --resistant bacterial infection.

Dr Basu :

The infection may spread to your blood causing low blood pressure, dizziness, kidney failure with swelling of legs, shortness of breath etc.

Dr Basu :

YOu will need to see your doctor today or go to the local hospital for antibiotic course.

Dr Basu :

Clindamycin is effective against MRSA.

And also IV vancomycin can be started initially to control the infection well.

Please do not neglect.
