A member asked:

Do you know good treatments for a nasal bacterial infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I sometimes: recommend topicals like Bacitracin or Bactroban (mupirocin). Many times even if you have an umcomplicated common bacterial infection your body fights if off successfully and don't need antibiotics at all,.
