I'm dealing with an abscess on my right thigh and I'm considering using MAHACEF 200 XL for it. Do you think that's a good idea? Is it effective for drying out the abscess, or should I be looking at other treatments? I'm really not sure what the best step is here, and any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!

I was recently diagnosed with an intersphincteric fistula tract and have surgery scheduled for next Friday. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what type of anesthesia is usually given during a fistulectomy procedure

Spinal anaesthesia will be given during surgery. You will feel a small pin-prick in your back. The surgery will take 20-30 minutes only. Don't worry!

My son was born with extra fingers on both hands and one leg. He's now 18 months old and I recently saw a pediatric surgeon about it. Wanted to ask what's the best age to remove the extra fingers? The doctor recommended full-body anesthesia is that necessary or can they just numb the area? Also, roughly how much does this surgery cost and how long is the recovery? Any recommendations for a good doctor in MP?
