Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your husband is having multiple abcess over various parts of the body. This may be due to he has lower immunity. Now his treatment is antibiotics preferably according to culture and sensitivity of pus. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief is useful. Vitamin B and C help in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
