A member asked:

My 19 week old baby has a boil on his jaw line. i took him to the doctor who prescribed flucloxacillin 4 times a day for a week. is this necessary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: It is always hard to second guess a provider when you did not evaluate the patient. Your physician was treated a staph infection as the most probable cause. Without clinical findings and a bacterial culture it is difficult to answer.
