In less severe cases where infection of the bones is not advanced treatment with [[Penicillins|penicillin]] or [[Tetracyclines|tetracyclines]] is recommended. Previously it has been sugested that systemic treatment with potassium iodide is successful but this is no longer recommended due to food safety concerns.
