My doctor told me i have a staph infection from an ingrown hair by my rectum and it made my lymph node swell and have sore muscles and joints. can i take keflex 500mg more. Was told to take it 3 times a day. can i take it 4 or 5 times a day if the muscles and joint soreness worsens?

Hello, Mike! How are you?

No, with any given antibiotic, there is only so much that your body will absorb and use, so taking more is pointless.

If your condition worsens, you'll need to return to your doctor to see what your next treatment option might be.

Is there anything else I can help with?
