My infectious disease Dr. says I have fish tank granuloma. I have been taking the 2 antibiotics she prescribed for 10 days. I don t notice any difference yet. My finger, right pinkie, is still painful to move as well as numbness in thumb, index, and middle fingers. The right side of palm is also affected. How long till I notice a difference?
Hello. Fish tank granulomas are causes mycobacterium maximum. It needs fairly long antibiotic treatment course. Duration varies from 3 months to 6 months. Depending on clinical severity and symptoms sometimes course may extend up to 18 months even. So don't worry about not getting your symptoms reduced in 10 days after starting treatment. It can definitely be cured by Chat Doctor.  Hope this helps. Thank you
