Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has a pustule on their knee. What could be the cause? How can I get the pustule drained at the hospital? It's swollen and painful now. If at home, how can I manage it?Doctor's answer:
According to the information, there is a preliminary consideration of an infectious condition. It is not recommended to handle it (by oneself), and it is advisable to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and careful check-up. If the condition reappears, antibiotic medication can be used for treatment. If pus has formed, it may need to be incised and drained, followed by dressing changes and treatment, while also taking oral anti-inflammatory medication. It is important to pay attention to hygiene, change into clean and dry clothes every day, and ensure the child has a light diet, avoiding spicy foods.
