2yo with infantigo and mrsa on antibiotics for 2 weeks getting worse keflex and other children hospitalize him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Any child or adult with a bacterial infection, who is not getting better while taking oral antibiotics, should be rechecked by the doctor to see what changes in the treatment plan are needed. Sometimes, a patient has to be admitted into the hospital for I.V. Antibiotics.
