A doctor is likely to prescribe an antibiotic for bacterial infections, such as strep throat, bacterial pneumonia, or urinary tract infections. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. The decision to prescribe antibiotics also depends on the severity of the infection and the patient's medical history. Proper diagnosis and consideration of antibiotic resistance are crucial in this decision-making process.

Most likely the doctor will prescribe both an oral antibiotic and a topical antibiotic. Usually the topical antibiotic prescribed is called Bactroban. This is just an ointment that is applied to the affected area. They will also give you an antibiotic to be taken by mouth. The doctor will choose which antibiotic to give you depending on the severity of the infection, as well as depending on any allergies you may have to certain medications. Hope this helps!
