Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Kid Had Infected Toe.Prescribed Flucloxacillin. Had Rashes, Diagnosed Guttate Psoriasis, Nose Bleeds, Not Been To Loo. Connection Or Cure?
My son is 8 yrs old and 7 weeks ago I took him to the doctors about an infection in his toe he was prescribed flucloxacillin and 2 days later he is covered in a rash head to toe he has now been diagnosed with guttate psoriisis any connection or cures as he is having constant nose bleeds he has not been to the loo for 5 days I fear for him ?
There is no relationship reported between guttate psoriasis and nose bleeds. Nose bleed can occur due to either a dry nose been picked. I suggest that you get him examined and, in the interim, apply some bland ointment in the nostril. If the bleeding is not controllable then pinch the nose for 5 minutes by the watch.
If your son has not passed stools for 5 days then he may require an enema to remove the hard stools and may need laxatives till the stools pass normally. In the meantime you will have to change his dietary habits so that he takes more of green leafy vegetables. You may find the link http://goo.gl/zRm1Q useful for his constipation.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
