Do I Require Clyndomycin Course After A Cut In Finger With A Can Lid?
Hi there! Last night I cut myself on a can lid. Can was just purchased at Wal-Mart, and didn't look rusty. It's on the joint area of my right middle finger. I am up to date on tetnus, and Dr did not suture it. my question is, do I really need a 10 day course of Clyndomycin for a cut like this?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
If you are updated with tetanus , it's the most important concern.
Regarding antibiotic , i personally prefer to give Augmentin for such purpose.
Clindamycin , helps with aneorobic infections.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
