What should I do, and which doctor should I see, if I am breastfeeding and my painful, red, and swollen face from a scratched insect bite has not improved after two days of taking Mahacef and using T.bact ointment?
Since your facial swelling and redness have not improved after two days of Mahacef (cefixime) and T.bact (mupirocin), please consult a dermatologist or a general physician today. Facial infections require prompt evaluation to ensure the correct antibiotic is targeted to the infection while keeping your baby safe. Please do not squeeze or scratch the area. You can apply a cool, clean damp cloth to soothe the pain. Your doctor will safely adjust your treatment to help you heal quickly.
