Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

As you are allergic to mentioned drugs. I suggest you to do sensitivity testing of the culture and take the drugs accordingly.

You can use third generation cephalosporins for this purpose. cetriaxone can be a best alternative.

Taking the drug alone wont cure the problem. Once the fistula got operated you will be clear with the infection. So curing the fistual is your prime target for definative treatment.


I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here or you can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.
