[|Human|] Hello. My son has a small cyst that he was treated for with cipro. It was opened then closed up. He is a college baseball player and the weird thing is, two other baseball players on his team, got them at the same time. One team mate had surgery. This past week, the team physician said my son needs to have his surgically opened again and cleaned out, then packed. My question is, What is the recoup period and is this a common problem amongst athletes? Is it coinsidental that other team mates got the samething, same time?
