What Could Cause Nasal Boil In A 6 1/2 Years Old Child?
Hello Sir, My 6 & 1/2 yrs. doughter having a small boil at the start of nose and it causes soiling on the face (i.e. under eyes, throat & chick). Yesterday Doctor prescribed AZAX 250 (Azithromycine), but the problem is increased. I contacted another Doctor and he has suggested AUGMENTIN 375 3 TAB daily. Is it OK?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having soft tissue infection leading to induration, swelling and pain.
Azithromicine is good antibiotic but any antibiotic including Augmentin takes some time to start its action.
So wait for 2-3 days, its effect will start and she will feel good.
Remain follow up with your doctor as having sever infection at this site might cause some problem.
Give her anti-inflammatory medicine for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
