Hi,

Well, often people are hospitalized and given IV antibiotics. Mostly the tube isn't going to be salvageable and the tube is going to have to be surgically removed. BUT, I'm not there and do not know the physical and labs. An ultrasound would show a significant pile of infection most of the time if it were there and that would mean surgery was required. CT with contrast is another way to look or of course laparoscopy which could also do surgery to fix things at the same time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
