General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

I would suggest azithromycin, although it probably does not matter which one of the antibiotics you choose (of those that staph. aureus are sensitive to).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen,
General Surgeon
