Can Erythromycin Be Applied For Spider Bites?
My son seems to have a spider bite on his cheeck. I read on a website that at times they prescribe antibiotic ointment for spiderbites. I have Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment that they prescribed a few weeks ago for pink eye. Would it be dangerous to apply this ointment to his bite?
