My son got bitten by an insect on Sunday night- I took him to the ER on Monday, started antibiotics on Moday afternoon, but it appears his skin is worse now. How long before it starts to look better? He has no fever is in good spirits, etc, but the wheals on his torso are painful to look at.
How long does it take for a skin infection to improve?
If after 48 hours he's not turning a corner call the MD back perhaps this medicine isn't the correct one - for this infection.
Don't put it off as skin infections can get bad over night- keep an eye on things and if you feel unsure or worried call the MD.
Or ER or take him back in. I'd say tomorrow is a good test to do this - as it's been 48 hours.
Reply:generally 2-3 days. i would take him back to the doctor
