culture and sensitivity to get tested

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
If i would be your treating doctor i would have asked you to get the swab culture and sensitivity test done to confirm which antibiotic will give the better relief from the infection.
consult your physician about this test if you see no changes after using FLUCLOXACILLIN for 5 days.

Hope the information is useful to you.
Take care.
