How Do You Stop The Itching From Staph Infection/Mrsa

Health Encyclopedia: Cirrhosis Abdominal Infections

Abdominal Infections

Antibiotics are administered when fluid examination and tests for ascites indicate infection. For a first episode, the antibiotic cefotaxime is typically administered intravenously, requiring hospitalization. Treatment usually lasts 10 days, but research indicates that 5 days may be sufficient for certain patients. Some research indicates that the oral antibiotic ofloxacin may work as well with fewer complications, allowing patients to be treated at home.
