Brief Answer:
Oral antibiotic in addition to T Bact cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

She may also require an oral antibiotic syp which would be dosed according to her age and body weight. Since i am not aware of her age/body weight therefore you may get the oral antibiotic prescribed from a local doctor. You may use T Bact cream in addition to oral antibiotic.
