Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was recently prescribed augmentin for an abscess behind my ear. I was prescribed 1 every 12 hours for 10 days.. 20 capsules. I dropped 4 of them in a puddle ruining them completely. I have about 6 Cephalexin left from a hand puncture that was infected. Would I be able to take the Cephalexin to finish the 10 day course?
hello! I have been through your question. I prefer to continue with the same medication, but only if you cannot have any opportunity to by augmentin you should continue with cephalexin. I hope my answer helps you. I wish you a quick recovery.
