Had some antibiotic shots on my back about 78 days ago, and now they're starting to hurt a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The lingering pain at the injection site 7-8 days after antibiotic injections on your back could be due to inflammation, muscle irritation, or a localized reaction to the antibiotic, which can cause delayed-onset pain.

I'm wondering if Soframycin skin cream is safe to use for cuts on the glans of the penis. If it's not the best option, can you suggest another cream that's more suitable for healing glan cuts? Really looking for the best recommendation.
I would recommend using an antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for optimal healing. Remember to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
