Hi, Dear!! Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Read and reviewed your query facts in context to your health concerns. Based on the facts submitted in your query, You seem to suffer from-Scrotal Cellulitis. You are getting the Maximum dose of Monomer. Though I am devoid of any info on extent and severity, your blood count seems to be 70,000 and indicate extensive cellulitis.Hence, it would be 1-5 days time, without surgery. If proper surgical care is taken, this would be under control in 2 days time. Diabetes needs to be ruled out for better results, as it may extend the period if present, due to delayed control of infection. Other supportive measures-like-diet/plenty of fluids/ and anti-inflammatory / vitamins need to be monitored carefully. Hope this would resolve your query and anxiety accompanied by it. This reply would also help you to plan right treatment combination with timely surgical intervention.Welcome for any further query in this regard, which I would love to reply 24x7. Good Day !! Chat Doctor.
