Her pediatric prescribed hydrocortisone butrate since last 4 months we are using same cream but of no use. Monocef is prescribed by family doctor from our country.we live outside.could you please respond to my question. Will be very much helpful.
[|AI|]  HelloDermatitis can be allergic or infective in origin. HY Chat Doctor.  Antibiotic is needed in infective dermatitis. Long term dermatitis is usually due to allergic or other causes not due to infection. For me, it does not appear to be infective dermatitis, so there is no need of antibiotic. Monomer contains ceftriaxone and it is an injectable antibiotic. It is not available in oral form. Monocef-o contains cefuroxime protein, and it is available in tab form. Even if antibiotic is needed Monocef-o is not a very good choice. Most of the skin infections occur due to infection of staphylococcus. Amoxicillin or amoxicillin with clavulanate is a better choice. Dose of monocef-o is 10-15 mg/kg/day in two divided dosage. I would suggest you to consult a skin specialist for reevaluation of the condition and management accordingly.
