[|Human|] Hello there. Just this morning, I discovered a pus on my 5 month s middle finger (just like when you get ingrown). I suspect a slight tear on the skin may have caused it while nail clipping. We went to the doctor and he prescribed Mupicin and Amoxycilin (100mg/ml) 3 times a day for 7 days. Would taking antibiotics hurt my baby? Can we not just wait for it to heal by itself? or would topical cream be sufficient? Thanks in advance.
[|AI|]  Hi.as per your concerns, what is not clear is the exact site of discharge, is there a nail swelling, is there any redness, any discomfort in the baby, or any lethargy associated with fever, how frequent is he discharge and how big is the injury/wound?usually mupirocin ointment is the topical antibiotic used in such situations but if shown to a doctor and amoxicillin was given is maybe for prophylactic measure which would help in healing. Do not worry no issues as such for you to worry about:) just make sure u feed the baby well. Keep they are under good hygiene.
