My local Doc put me on Septra DS Friday for an infection in my foot. He told me to come back Monday if it didnt get better. Today (monday) he prescribed Clindamycin and told me to continue taking both.. Sounded off to me so I am looking for a second opinion.
Welcome to Chat Doctor This is Chat Doctor.  You have not mentioned what is your age, how you get the infections and whether you are having DIABETES or not as in diabetes infection take time to subside. So I will advise you to do Blood sugar level and if there is pus formation then go for the culture and sensitivity which will help guide to start proper antibiotics. Till that I will suggest you to complete the dose of septal as it is not advisable to stop any antibiotics in between and apply MUPIROCIN OINTMENT over it instead of clindamycin. Hope I have given the satisfactory answers to your questionsRegards
