Hi, I got poison ivy around my eye on Monday. Yesterday I felt a lil pain in my belly button, it had some blood and pus in it. I figured it was from the poison ivy. My question is I have a fool prescription of keflex, will this help or should I go to a urgent care? Thanks
You seem to have developed an allergic reaction around the eyes along with infection in the umbilical region . Since you have discharge of blood and mucus from the area ,you should surely see a doctor since you might require a treatment with oral antibiotics and antihistamines. Keep the affected area clean and dry . Wash the affected area with lukewarm saline water twice daily. Apply a topical antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin over the lesion twice daily.
