I have a question—maybe someone here has experience. On Wednesday, his father-in-law was taken to the hospital, to the department of purulent surgery. He was bitten by a cat, and a severe infection began. That day they performed surgery and kept him in the hospital. Today he called and said that they are giving him antibiotics by injection, and the bandages on his leg have just been removed. He also said that they are discharging him. Does that mean they gave him only part of the antibiotic course, and the wound on his leg hasn't been properly treated? Is it really possible for them to discharge him?

I also had surgery.
I was discharged on the third day, and I’ll be giving myself injections at home.
The wound will also be cleaned with chlorhexidine at home. But the boss is in charge—if you want, you can just lie down.

A full course wasn’t necessary; I was given antibiotics only before and after the operation, and that was all. There was no need for them the next day, according to the surgeon and the neurosurgeon. And they did it this way every time.

Orlova Natalya They may also prescribe a course of antibiotics to take at home.

They can do it—why not? They were given injections for three days, and afterward at home they will take tablets or go to the clinic for injections.

Of course, antibiotics can be taken at home as well. That's a strange question.

So, could I continue taking the antibiotics at home?
