Hello, I m a 31 year old female. I ve worked as a nurse in different floors for about 10 years. I started getting groin boils- sometimes with drainage and other times they would subside. I also have developed a lump on the area between my chin and neck that can get gold ball sized. Both are recurrent symptoms. I went to a doctor last week for a sore throat and the culture says I have pseudomonas and citrobactor. My PCP was concerned because those are not common in the throat in healthy people. I have no other health problems except gallbladder issues and I m scheduled for a removal next week. Will these bacteria affect my surgery? Do you think the bacteria is causing the sore throat and the chin lump and the groin boils? ..Thanks .
Hi, Since you have mentioned you are a nurse, let me tell you that pseudocodes infection is commonly by hospital acquired infection. It is not generally seen in other individuals other than health workers in hospital. It needs to be treated with antibiotics which am sure you might have got prescribed from your doctor. Regarding the boils. I advise you to maintain a proper hygiene in you groin area
