Internal Medicine

Answered by Dr. Ria Hawle

Abscess is nothing but a major inflammation and infection in the body. It can be treated with medications superficially but to treat it from root cause start with high veg protein diet, include good fats like seeds, nuts and good water intake per day. Start with nutraceutical supplements like omega 3 capsules, and protein powder to fulfil the therapeutic requirement. You can get in touch with me for a high protein diet plan and supplementation.

Unlike other bacterial infections, antibiotics alone don’t cure abscesses. It must open and drain out the pus. Draining may occur on its own, but in most cases, it drains with the help of a warm compress or by a surgeon in a procedure called incision and drainage (I&D).

Answered by Dr. Izharul Hasan

Surgical removal is good option, during the procedure, the doctor cuts into the abscess, to allow the pus to drain out. They may also take a sample of pus for testing. Once all of the pus has been removed, doctor will clean the hole that is left by the abscess using sterile saline.
