they have him on cephalexin, 500 mg. Not sure if this is one that is good or not. But I will make sure and mention that to the doctor today and see what they want to do about it.
Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers!
We just got back from the doctor’s office...she is going to refer him to see the podiatrist but she didn’t take this seriously. I shouldnt’ have cleaned it prior to going in today...I should have left it looking ugly from when he woke up this morning...she said it looked good, I said “yeah, I cleaned it...but it will be UGLY in 30 minutes if it is left unwrapped!” I don’t feel like she took it seriously at all...and this boy is my world, his health is my #1 concern! She did tell me to quit using peroxide and to start using a non sudsy cleaning solution...she said there were some that could be gotten from the store (again, what part of NO INCOME is so hard to understand!!!???) I still have to clean and dress it 3 times a day, and was told the ointment we got is an antibiotic ointment and she gave him a shot of a very heavy duty antibiotic to try to kick the infection out quicker. We have an appointment to see the podiatrist on Thursday morning, setting up transportation for that as I type. Thank you for the continued prayers.
I think cephalexin (a.k.a. Keflex) is the antibiotic that’s supposed to work for staph on a toe. Cephalexin was the second antibiotic prescribed to my son after the amoxicillin didn’t work.
Of course, in the end, it turned out that he didn’t have staph at all, but that’s another story.
