Would Taking Flexon Cause Heat Boils ?
My daughter is 12 months old and has got heat boil from last 2.5 days. she has caught fever because of boil. Her ped. has given her antibiotics and asked to give flexon only if having fever only once per day. after every 6-7 hrs her body temp becomes 99.2.-99.9 F. Should i give her flexon after evry 6-7 hrs. or i should give other medicine like coldman?? Please help

Thanks for the query.
For boils you need to take the complete course of antibiotics.
The boils are not due to heat , but they are due to infection of hair follicle.
Flexon can be given every 6 hourly for fever more than 100 F.
For fever less than 100F , you need not to take any antipyretic.
Coldman is anticold , you need not to give it for boils.
Flexon will reduce the pain and also fever.
Hope i helped you.
