PLEASE ANSWER! DOCTORS ESPECIALLY!?
My dad is suffering from a scrape he got on a bike ride when he flipped over a guard rail about a week ago. The open wound was exposed for almost 2 hours. His other injuries have healed but the scrape on his knee is now seriously infected. He has gone to doctor and they told him to put anti-bacterial on it, but it hasn't healed at all. PLEASE help. it even hurts for him to walk and i dont know what to do

He needs to call his doctor back if its not healing. He may need to see a wound care specialist and he might need oral antibiotics. If his own doctor won't help then a second opinion is well worth it
Irony..A Guard rail?
He needs to have it dressed and put on oral antibiotics
welll..he may have MRSA........which needs a special antibiotic......ask the doc to culture wound and see what grows....
