Bactrum for 2 days but new sore today?
Post Body

Hi everyone, I am new so I haven't read all the previous post. I got bit by a brown recluse in July then I got another sore that they said was a spider bite and I kept me on clindamycin and levaquin. But it got worse and then there were three more sores. So on Sunday the urgent Care told me I had staph and put me on bactrim and keflex.

It broke the fever of around 100° I had for 3 days but today there is a new sore. Does it take awhile for the medicine to make new sores quit forming?

I am washing my sheets spraying my bed cover with alcohol and washing everything I wear everyday. Bathing with dial antibacterial and washing the sores with hibbiclens.

I'm scared, any advice? I think my doctor has dropped the ball on this he is supposed to try to culture it tomorrow but they show up as pretty much open sores they don't show up as a boil and he doesn't Lance in his office. So he wants me to go to an infectious disease doctor but that takes a month I can't do this for a month!!

Thanks!
