My patient suffered from a wound tunnel of more than 6.5cm in length.
I have been treating him using mesalt for more than a month and there is no sign of the tunnel healing. In fact the condtion is much worst, it was less than 5cm one month ago.
The hospital have issued my patient with antibiotics but the medication does not seem to do anything. The doctor simply told him to wait for the flesh to granulate, but unfortunately it does not.
1. what other products should I use?
2. what other better treatment option is there?
3. should I advise my patient to go for MRI scan?
4. what are the chance that he would have to go to another operation, I have been seeing this patient almost twice a week for more than 4 month, and everytime he is in pain, cant really bear the pain if he have to go to another ops.
5. is there anything that can help speed recovery, I already recommend he get zinc + vitamin C tablets and he is also drinking at least 2 glass of milk a day.
