A member asked:

I have paronychia that is now a felon. on keflex x2 days not responding (neither is my doctor) it is on mastectomy side and i also take hydroxyurea.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time: As long as you do not have redness extending beyond the digit i would give the antibiotics another day or two. Paronychias can lead to abscess development that require drainage. If you have redness extending beyond the digit then you should go to the er if your doctor is not responding.
