Which antibiotics for paronychia

2018-07-31 02:52:47
My friend has developed paronychia in three of her fingernails. The condition is quite critical and she faces an acute pain in her infected fingers. Though we have scheduled an appointment with the doctor for tomorrow but to ease her pain we need antibiotics. Can you suggest which antibiotics for paronychia are suitable? She is 25-years old and has no serious health problems.
