Continuing with pharmacist's suggestion

I called the radiologist's office this morning. I told them what the pharmacist had suggested we use and they said to continue to use that unless the burned area gets worse. If it should get worse, then we are to call them and they will tell Woody something else to use. It looks like the most important thing is to keep infection down and the ointment that the pharmacist suggested is an antibiotic ointment. As far as pain, Woody says that his upper arm hurts more on the inside than the burned area hurts. So we will go with this ointment unless something else is needed on down the road. I'm thankful for pharmacists who will go the extra mile for you. Last night she phoned someone she thought would have an answer as to the best thing to use for a radiation burn that was over-the-counter...and it was time for the drugstore to close...but she took the time to come up with an answer.
