she was given ceftum for 7 days. currently on cetzine 5mg every night. unable to attach the photo and shall try it again.
Brief Answer:
keep taking it for 5 days
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, I have seen the attached reports and she needs ceftum course for another 5 days and a local ointment t-bact over the affected area twice a day for at least 5 days.
No need to give cetrizine and rather give her tablet paracetamol 250 mg thrice a day along with serratiopeptidase tablet thrice a day.
Its better to consult your doctor after completion of the course and consider surgical removal because otherwise it is a recurrent problem and will keep on bothering her.
All the best.
In case you have any questions I will be glad to answer.
