Antibiotics: Treatment varies depending on the age of your infant, and the location and extent of the infection. In an older infant, if an abscess is present, it most likely will require incision and drainage followed by oral antibiotics and proper wound care. Mrsa infections would require certain antibiotics for cure. In young infants, IV antibiotics may required. See your dr!
