For similar infections, consider over-the-counter options available at CVS. Many bacterial infections causing mild symptoms like a sore throat or earache might respond to pain relievers and fever reducers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). These alleviate discomfort but don&#8217;t treat the infection directly.<\/p>\n<p>For infections potentially caused by bacteria, CVS stocks topical antibiotic ointments for minor skin infections like cuts and scrapes. Neosporin, for instance, contains neomycin, polymyxin B, and bacitracin, offering broad-spectrum antibacterial action. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.<\/p>\n<p>If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice immediately.
