Injury and antibiotics
I met with an accident today and got bruised and injured at 4 places. The level of injury is medium. The doctor cleaned and dressed it up applying betadine. But he has prescribed me Zifi LBX saying it will dry the injury fast. I know it is an antibiotic. Just wanted to ask if it is necessary?

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Yes of course it's necessary.
If you don't take the antibiotics, pus might develop and that won't be a good thing would it?
Now it's upto you to take it or not.
Prescribing was our job in your best interest, but to take it is upto you.
Best regards.
