Suggest alternative medicine for Impetigo in a child
Patient: My son aged 4 (normal hieght and weight, no medical contitions) is diagnosed with impetigo. and the doctor prescribed oral antibiotics. I don t really like to give antibiotics unless it is an emergency. Clould you please help me with some alternate options. thanks Doctor: hi madam , it's important to treat impetigo because it can turn into a serious cellulitis, the earlier treatment the better , and both oral and local antibiotics are used , I recommend a 1st generation Cephalon poring like cephalexin and local fuscidinic acid .I hope this helps
