It is a staph infection for sure! I did not take any antibiotics in India. They gave me a daily wound dressing though. I think the creme medicine they used had antibiotics in them but I'm not sure. I tried to ask them but they didn't want to tell me and got angry.
I'm not taking anything right now. I think I may need some Antibiotics. I put Merbromin on the wounds. I read that this is helping somehow. I'm very new to the whole medical thing.
I think it is Mind-blowing as well! People who need help on the spot can't get because they have to see all their specialists. I just need a simple dressing and maybe some antibiotics... Here in Germany, it's the same as in the States. They won't give me anything without an RX.
Glad you could help out your wife! Definitely cool to be a Jack of all trades!
