Hard to say: You submit nine words describing the issue and want an analysis of the care given by a local doc.This doc has the benefit of a full history, exam, and a plan for treatment. Sorry, your brief description of the case leaves so many questions unanswered that there is no way to comment on one prescribed med. Sorry if you are confused or sad, but these are questions you should ask that doc,not on line
