What Dosage Of Antibiotics Can Treat Swelling / Pain From A Knee Injury?
My daughter age 14 yrs having skin injury on knee. Swelling is observed and little pain while walking. As a antibiotic my doctor suggested Droxyl 500 two times in a day and combiflam half tablet two times a day. External application of betadine ointment is applied. Is this a right treatment. How many days antibiotics is to be taken?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
First, antibiotics do not treat pain, they are ment for infection, now if there is skin injury, keeping it clean, with dettol solution wash, applying onitment you already have and than keeping it under bandage will need no more that 5 days of antibiotics, if no signs of infection are seen.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
