Ok...I just reread this. Are you finishing the antibiotic as prescribed for Knox? You say it clears up in a few days. Are you aware that you need to finish a prescription even IF the infection clears up? You have to give it ALL to him. If you don't, the infection will come back and keep coming back; and at some point the thing you are treating will end up immune to the antibiotic.
