I am a male 59 years old and a parapligic T7-T11. I have wound on my left buttock approximately 5 cm by 5 cm by 3.5 cm deep.  The wound occured from a hard lump that was lanced and then got infected.  I am currently using a wound vac and it appears to be getting smaller, however arround 3 pm in the afternoon I develop chills and then by 5 pm I have fever of arround 100 degrees. I take tylond and the fever goes to normal but at night I have sever sweeting.  Is there anything I can do?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This is certainly indicative of an active infection in the would or may be in the urinary tract or so. I would advise undergoing the tests of Blood / urine-routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity/ IF pus is there in the wound - swab for gram staining, culture and sensitivity. And start a broad spectrum antibiotic once the samples are Chat Doctor.
