How Safe Is Using Neomycin Sulphate Ointment And Ampilclox Tablet For Pain In Shin?
Dear Doctor.Due to falling into a drain, my right shin was hurt, seems to be just abrasion about 0.5 x 3 inches, but as there are a few puss, just clean with spirit and put neomycin sulphate oinment and take ampilclox (500 mg x times) orally about two days. I think there is no problem with the bone due to external signs. According to the present treatment, it seems to be improved. In such a situation, I would like to have a few suggestion as follows: 1) Is the present treatment (my own prescription) sufficient and safe? 2) If not sufficient or correct, what shall I do or change? 3) How long should I take ampilclox? By the way, my two children are medical doctors, one at Servier and another at Dumex. This is their life in Myanmar. Great thanks, Raphael Supoon

cannot say in your particular case. it might not be infected. but if it were, those are reasonable treatments, but they can fail. If the infection is deep in. If there is material stuck in the wound, if the germs happen to be resistant, then in these instances, the treatment won't work. Mostly it would.
