What can be done for bacterial chest infection, re-opened from pace-maker surgeory.?

What sort of treatment can be used or food can they eat to help healing. They are already in rehab. With antibiotics in their IV everyday but the Zithromax is not working.

You should talk to the doctor about changing the IV antibiotic or ordering blood cultures to see if the antibiotic is correct. This is very serious to have an infection in a pacemaker site.

Do you honestly feel this question is best answered by a bunch of "yahoos" on the internet, rather than the patient's medical team?

Fine. Fruit Loops and feta cheese with sun dried tomato and basil are sure fire remedies.
