Restoring balance, restoring life.
Erythromycin ointment can be used in infants? Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. Erythromycin ointment is an over-the-counter dermatological drug. It can be used for purulent skin diseases such as impetigo, small burns, ulcerated skin infections and acne vulgaris. Erythromycin ointment can be used in infants, but children must be supervised by adults. Care should be taken to prevent contact with eyes and other mucous membranes (such as mouth and nose). It should not be used as a large wound application. If the application site has burning sensation, itching, redness and other manifestations should be discontinued, and local cleaning, if necessary, consult a doctor. Erythromycin ointment is prohibited for erythromycin allergy, and it is prohibited to use when the nature of ointment changes.
