Will flucloxacillin 500mg tablets help an infected nose piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Flucloxacillin is useful in some skin infections. Whether it would work in your case depends on which bacteria is causing the infection. You should be seen by a physician prior to starting antibiotics to make sure that it's an appropriate drug and strength (500 is higher than standard dose) for your condition.
