The only thing that will remove the odor is to heal the infection. If you have not started on antibiotics you need to see your doctor.

Depending on the location of the infection the doctor may drain bacteria by lancing the wound. If the site of the infection is draining, clean and replace bandages as your doctor ordered. Keep the linens and towels clean and fresh daily if possible. Frequently one with a severe bacterial infection will have fevers and sweats; frequent bathing will help with any body odor.


There are air freshener sprays that can be purchased at a medical supply store that will help control the odor in the room.
