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.
My 16 m0nth 0ld daughter has red bumps that l00k like m0squit0 bites that rand0mlyhave sh0wn up 0n her arms f0r the past 3 days. They are red, raised and hard in the center. She had 3 0n 0ne arm a 4th has appeared t0day. They seemed if I sqeeuzed them puss/liquid w0uld c0me 0ut. N0 fever and t0tal n0rmal 0therwise. She d0es n0t itch at them either.
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I suggest you do not squeeze them. By what you quote it seems to be like an insect bite allergy which has got secondarily infected. If pus is coming out---it means infection. I suggest you see your paediatrician and a good choice of antibiotic would be oral amoxicillin clavulenate or cephalexin. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
