Ok
DD3; 2.3 has a green ous filled blister on her thumb sucking callus. 95% certain it is infected cos of colour. A bit red an inflamed around it.
Options I have are
Walk-In centre (served by GPs) tonight
GP tomorrow afternoon
GP tomorrow morning (which I am less keen on due to convenience; but at the end of the day her health is more important than my work appointments)
Second question...I have seen GP for 3 skin infections in the past; Once they prescribed oral ABs (amoxyl I think) and AB cream. Twice they have prescribed Flucloxacillin....which is the most hideous medicine available in the pharmacist; and has no efficacy when applied to the surface of a T-shirt which is invariably where it ends up. Can I refuse Fluclox on the grounds of taste?
