How To Treat The Boils Caused After A Fever, Cold In A Child?
My baby girl is of 3 years and 2 months old. She had fever, cold, cough from last 1 week. I used to give her syrups as oer doctor's last prescription. Yesterday I have seen some boils like fire boils in her legs (under knee, feet), in her hands. What may be the reason sir?
These lesions can be drug eruption.These lesions are less common in infection but it should also be excluded by clinical examination and investigation if needed. The main management is to stop the present medication and shift to other category of antibiotics or medications. Application of some low dose steroid ointment also helps. I would like to get her evaluated by a pediatrician to make a diagnosis and management accordingly. Regards
