Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why do babies tend to get boils in the summer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when a boil first appears, it is important to apply heat promptly. The surrounding skin can be frequently disinfected with 75% alcohol to help localize the boil. When the boil forms, you can apply 10% ichthammol ointment or traditional Chinese medicine Furong ointment externally. If the boil matures, becomes soft on the surface, and shows a fluctuating sensation, it can be incised to drain the pus. After draining the pus, apply a compound neomycin ointment until it heals. However, boils in the external ear canal, nose, and upper lip area should not be incised, and they should not be squeezed either.
