Stacy Wiegman answered:Because ticarcillin-clavulanate (Timentin) is often taken through a catheter (a needle implanted under the skin), it is easy for an infection develop around that area. It's important you watch carefully for these symptoms of infection:
- redness
- tenderness
- pain
- swelling
- warmth
- irritation
- drainage
If any of these develop, call your health care provider immediately.
