Hello, my mother has some sort of infection that is causing an open wound around her stomach region that has light green puss coming from it and smells she also has an infection lump near her tailbone that has blood coming out of it and some puss. shes also been really tired and sometimes in pain. she is also a diabetic and i think the infection is causing her blood sugar to raise and blood pressure too. Were not sure what to do we think she might have some sort of a staph infection.

hi.
first and foremost you need to do regular dressing on the wound.. then send the pus for a culture and sensitivity to see which organism is growing.. an empirical antibiotic therapy can be started.. the culture reports will come after 48-72 hrs following which we can start on the antibiotics which is sensitive to that particular organism. Kindly watch out for the wound as it takes a longer time to heal in diabetics
