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 hope the shot helps him. Thanks for letting us know what’s happening.
Thank you for keeping us informed. Prayers continue...
get a small pack travel size of sensitive skin baby wipes. cut then in half if you can. Does what she wants cleaning wise and won’t cost more than a $1 or 2. store brand is OK.
Trussell, my husband has an infection of the skin around his toe, and the doctor prescribed Mupirocin 2%. Apparently it’s a generic version of a med called Bactroban.
We paid $14 at Walmart.
