Having wound and diabetic problem?

What does your dr say? Diabetic wounds can be hard to heal and get infected easily. You'll probably be better off with the cefixime, but make sure you take all of it. Don't stop taking it if your wound is looking better.

As Kaismama says, be sure to take the entire prescription of your current med. ten days? I have been switched like you from augmentin when not responding. After this course is done, do back to the doctor and be sure your wound is checked. Sometimes the skin will grow over or scab over and an infection exists below the surface. Doctor may increase the current med or do lab tests and do a higher dose.

Keep the area clean, covered at all times. Wounds heal faster if not open to the air. In addition the bandages will show if there is continuing leaking of fluids. If after a week there is still fluid or pus call the doctor right away. If it gets worse, red, hot to the touch or streaking, you need to see a doctor immediately. Streaking indicates blood poisoning and is very serious and dangerous so don't wait for the doctor to give an appointment. Better to been seen as soon as you notice. It will be very sore and you may run a fever.

If steady healing, keep bathing it and changing bandage at least twice a day. Wish you quick improvement and that you heal quickly.
