Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for sending the question.
Cefuroxime is a medication that has some good coverage against gram-positive bacteria. These bacteria can sometimes contribute to infections involving the skin. This medication can also be used to treat upper respiratory or earsections as well.
If you're having gastrointestinal symptoms we usually recommend antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin or metronidazole.
