Posted on Fri, 9 Jun 2017

Answered by Dr. Dr. Muhammad Sareer Khalil (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Doesnt fit a single entity

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The combination of symptoms/ lesions you described doesn't fit any single disease entity. The likelihood of these being exclusive / independent phenomenon is more.

For the boils, addition of local kaolin poultice and mupirocin would help it resolve and drain out easily. With the earache accompanying, if any focus of bacterial infection is suspected then broad spectrum antibiotics can be started especially if its accompanied by a high grade fever. The rest of symptomatic treatment can remain the same. Most likely it will resolve within a week.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
