DS (nearly2) has impetigo. Dr immediately prescribed oral AB (fluclox) rather than cream, but after one disaster with a spoon and a choking fit with a syringe (an hour later he's still not swallowing - he's saving up his saliva then drooling onto the furniture and his clothes) I'm at a loss how we're going to get it to work. There is one big patch on the crown of his head and now what looked like little spots on his face have started to yellow and weep, so we really need to crack this before it spreads big time. Can anyone help? He wouldn't be calmed after the medicine with juice or biscuits, he just gagged and spat over and over. Ant tips gratefully received. TIA
