How Safe Is Using Cephalexin For Lump On The Left Buttocks?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My baby has a lump/bump on his left butt cheek. I took him to his primary doctor and she prescribed cephalexin and adviced me to put him in a warm bath and it should go down in a couple of weeks. However, the bump/lump is getting larger and he is developing a fever. Should I go to the emergency room or wait it out?

Hi...by what you quote I feel that she is having an abscess formation at the left cheek. The fever will get better only if the abscess is drained. I suggest you get back to your doctor with this tip or get in touch with the nearest emergency so that they will check and if it is an abscess, drain it.
