I had a bug bite which became infected and I waited until it started draining before I went to the doctor. He squeezed what he could, out. He then made an incision (without an anesthetic) and tried to get all the blood and puss out. He stuffed it with a string like gauze material unto the wound, bandaged it and said come back Monday. It didn't exactly hurt, but it was painful. How long will this go on for?
By the way, the infection was not bad, and it was very small, just very swollen.
I was given Sulfamethoxazole. An antibiotic. If that helps.
