Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

You need to apply Triple antibiotic ointment on the wound and if there is no betterment and the wound is big enough I will preferably suggest you to get a prescription for oral antibiotic like Cephalexin. Plus Ibuprofen by mouth.


Hope I answered all of your questions. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too.

Regards!
