Suggest Remedy For Infection From Nose Piercing

Hi,I got my nose pierced, and to avoid any allergies or building of pus I am having Moxikind -CV 625, 3 times a day and applying Sofinox cream in the affected area, but still redness is in the surrounding area..this is the second time I got it pierced in the gap of one month..In the first time pus got filled up in the surrounding area so I had to remove it..Please suggest if the medicines I am taking are good enough to protect the infection this time.

Hi,
The antibiotic you are taking is good medicine for this type of infection.
Take for 3-5 days.
But important is dressing and proper cleaning.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
If there is no improvement due to irritation of piercing ring then get it removed and go for dressing.
Ok and take care.
