Trust me, it wasn't fun holding a 10 year old down for them to scrub burned skin.
if it is a PTA the pennicliilin she was given will no tbe sufficient, its like spitting on a forrest fire to put it out. if I were susoicious of one in m ypatients I would give either augmentin or clinda as well as an IV loading dose and hope for the best.

I agree that I hope I am wrong, but its my job/mindset to look for and worry about this sort of stuff.

I should be here till around 5 and will be in the ER tonight so keep me updated.
