Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this infection. With an infection, removing the plate is one of the principal and very helpful options to help with the healing process. You would need to get a deep specimen collection for culture and antibiotic sensitivity. Depending on the results, you would be prescribed the appropriate antibiotics. It would be a long treatment and please do all to stay compliant to it.

I hope this helps. i wish you well.
