Impetigo - need some help?

Is clox the only choice of antibiotics for impetigo - it tastes awful.

Any way to mask the taste of the suspension? Or can I ask the dr. for something else.

My son is four, and being very brave....

Since impetigo is a staph infection there are other anitbiotics that your son could take. But just make sure that he takes it all as directed, some Pharmacies now are adding flavors to childrens meds to make them taste somewhat better also.
