A member asked:
I got my cartilage pierced and it is infected, what should i do? a doctor already prescribed amoxicillin, but from what ive read that might not be the best antibiotic..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amoxicillin: Amoxicillin is prescribed for skin infections, but it is not the antibiotic of choice by me or my colleagues. The cephalosporin class of antibiotics are more favored.
