Monocef contains Cefpodoxime and Taxim contains Cefixime , both of them belong to cephalosporin group of antibiotics and are effective against staph aureus , it will be ideal if you consult an Dermatologist may be online since much more needs to be done along with oral Antibiotics to cure the child
