I'm dealing with a pretty bothersome staph infection on my face in a few spots and I've got some Amoxicillin 500mg at home. I'm a bit worried and really curious if this is the right antibiotic to treat a staph infection. Can Amoxicillin actually help with this?

Amoxicillin is not typically used to treat staph infections. Staphylococcus bacteria can be resistant to Amoxicillin. For staph infections, antibiotics such as Dicloxacillin or Cephalexin are more commonly prescribed. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a breastfeeding mom and I'm worried about the skincare products I should or shouldn't use. I'm considering using a sunscreen day cream and wondering if it's safe. Also, I'm thinking about trying an anti-aging cream from Himalaya. Do you think these products are okay for me to use while I'm nursing?

Yes, sunscreen day cream can be safely used by a breastfeeding mother. Look for a sunscreen that is labeled as safe for use during breastfeeding. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, and reapply every 2 hours if you are outdoors. As for the anti-ageing cream by Himalaya, it is generally safe to use during breastfeeding. However, it is always recommended to do a patch test before applying it to larger areas of the skin to check for any allergic reactions. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the correct application.
