Hello, can you help me with my kid’s problem? He is 7 years old and he is suffering from tinea pedis. I assume that he got infected while swimming in the pool with other kids. Anyway, we got some antibiotic meds for it and I would like to know what is the efficacy of that kind of treatment.
Well, I assume that those antibiotics are actually antimicotics – medications produced especially for the fungal infection. Those should be very effective, even though tinea pedis is a very persistent condition and needs a long treatment. But don’t panic, it will pass in time. Just be sure that he takes the meds regularly.
