Will Cefdinir Heal The Scratch On His Lip?
My son has a scratch on his face, above his lip, for about a week. It can't heal complete. We went to see a doctor last Monday. He prescribed an antibiotic oitment. Then he checked the ear, found ear infection, and prescribed Cefdinir for it. Since my son doesn't show any sign of ear pain, we held off on the antibiotic until now. However, the scratch still can't heal completely as of now. The surface dried up, peeled off, then it showed the wet and red spot again. This process happened for 2 times. What should we do? Give him Cefdinir? Would it also help with the scratch infection?

Surely cefdinir will help you to control both the infections of the lips as well as of the ear if at all it is present.
So it is better to give it as advised by doctor. Along with that you can add up anti- inflammatory agent such as ibuprofen + paracetamole two times a day after food & one of the antacids such as omeprazole or rabeprazole two times a day before food.
