What causes pimple above eyebrow and swollen eyes?
Answered by
Oral antibiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have understood it.
If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you a week of oral antibiotics. My choice of oral antibiotics would have been either Cephalexin 500mg(keflex) thrice daily for a week OR Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for a week.
An OTC oral antiinflammatory e.g ibuprofen once or twice daily would provide symptomatic relief from pain and swelling.
Topical application of an antibacterial ointment e.g either fucidic acid (fucidin) OR mupirocin (bactroban) would benefit in addition.
Regards

MD use of mupirocin ointment nasally
I am having I spinal fusion in the morning and was instructed to use mupirocin nasally prior to arrival. the mupirocin I received from the pharmacy is 2% ointment when I read the internal literature it said not to use in the nose but that there are nasal forms of the medicine. I think I tecieved the wrong stuff from the pharmacy that being said. should I still use it or wait and see what the doctor would like to do in the morning?

MD Can anything be done to get rid of crusty spots in my nostrils ? They are not sore and do not bleed, but they won't go away. My ENT doctor gave me Mupirocin ointment,, and I used it nightly for weeks on end finally giving up as it did nothing. My complaint with him was that had lost my sense of smell a couple of years ago. I cannot smell good or bad odors. After I had a nasal X-ray, he told me that my sinus passages were clear, and no infection. I have used over many years a OTC Nasal spray, and wondered if that has damaged my sense of smell ? I I live alone and have to triple check myself to make sure the gas jets on my stove are off. The Dr. said it would come back, but it is now 6 months later and still not a thing !Sue Cadman
MD I have a painful belly button. There is also a brownish discharge that takes about three hours to refill the cavity after cleaning it out. The discharge is extremely smelly and resembles a fecal odor. I also experience pain when the area around the belly button is palpated, primarily directly below. Two sores are now apparent in the cavity but were not there a week ago when the symptoms first appeared. The amount of discharge has been constant regardless of the presence of the sores. I do not have a fever. I've seen two doctors about this condition. One prescribed a topical cream called Mupirocin Ointment. The next prescribed an antibiotic pill called Sulfamethoxazole. Both have been ineffective at relieving any of the symptoms.
