How To Get Rid Of Prolonged Ringworm Infection In A Child?
my son has ringworm and can t seem to get rid of it. we have used prescription from doctor called clotrimazole betamethasone dipropionate. we are now also trying tea tree oil. he has had this for close to 3 months. we need to get rid of this and don t know what else we can do?
If the clinical diagnosis is confirmed to that of ring worm infection, combination cream of steroid with Clotrimazole is best. Over and above that: - Supportive anti-fungal medications as Fluconazole - Multi-vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants - Nutritional support - Anti histamine for itching - Oral steroids as per the need of case severity - Hygiene care of the local part - Control of blood sugar
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
