Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started sulfamethoxazole 800 -160 tabs Sunday evening for a infection on my leg. Prescribed by a Dr in a medical clinic. He also told me if the infection starts to spread I should go to the emergency room for a antibiotic drip. I don t see much improvement today. There is a few more spots off the main infection. Should I wait for this antibiotic or seek help again.
