What To Do For Strep Infection In Leg And Swelling In Testicles?
Earlier this year I had a strep infection in my left leg. I went to ER and was butchered. I now have what seems to be another one on the right side and this time it is swelling in my testicles as well. It has opened up and is draining a milky red fluid. What are my dangers and can I do something on my own?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern regarding repeated bacterial infection with streptococci. But you need to see a doctor for examination and prescription for appropriate antibiotics to deal with the present infection. Streptococci cause pyogenic infections which spread and lead to cellulitis very soon. These infections need to be treated vigorously and as soon as possible.
Thanks.
