Answer 2

Most simple boils can be treated at home. Ideally, the treatment should begin as soon as a boil is noticed since early treatment may prevent later complications.

The primary treatment for most boils is heat application, usually with hot soaks or hot packs. Heat application increases the circulation to the area and allows the body to better fight off the infection by bringing antibodies and white blood cells to the site of infection.

As long as the boil is small and firm, opening the area and draining the boil is not helpful, even if the area is painful. However, once the boil becomes soft or "forms a head" (that is, a small pustule is noted in the boil), it can be ready to drain. Once drained, pain relief can be dramatic. Most small boils, such as those that form around hairs, drain on their own with soaking. On occasion, and especially with larger boils, the the larger boil will need to be drained or "lanced" by a healthcare practitioner. Frequently, these larger boils contain several pockets of pus that must be opened and drained.

Antibiotics are often used to eliminate the accompanying bacterial infection. Especially if there is an infection of the surrounding skin, the doctor often prescribes antibiotics. However, antibiotics are not needed in every situation. In fact, antibiotics have difficult penetrating the outer wall of an abscess well and often will not cure an abscess without additional surgical drainage.

Answer 4

boils are generally a form of a staf infection. They are caused from heat and lack of air contact creating moisture to that part of the body for most people. So if she is getting them on her butt, keep her diaper off her. Anywhere else on the body try keeping dry with baby powder. Then get a new Dr. to get an anitbiotic percription to cure the staf infection.

Now once you get a staf infection of this type if usually stays dormant in the body. It could flair up with boils again when she gets alot of stress or as she gets older her hormones could also cause them to flair up. So stay on top of her boils.

Answer 5

I know what you are going through believe me. try letting her soak in a bathtub of warm water as warm as she can stand it that'll bring it to a head DO NOT squeeze it that'll just make it spread. there is also some medicine over the counter called black drawing salve put it on it also get a new doctor because even with all that she needs antibiotics. my 3 year old had the same problem. eventually it does get better if it doesn't take her in to the er and have them lance it.good luck

Answer 6

I live with them. You need to make sure you use Anti bacterial soaps, Cotton clothes and never use scented toilet paper. They are hard to live with and leave bad scars trust me I know. There is a cream you can use called Boil ease that works well and does not stan clothes. You need to cover them with this cream and keep it covered till they pop. Let me know if I can help futher. I work in skilled nursing and live with them myself. Another thing that might help is taking her into the doctors and get antibiotics they help to clear them up because they are under the skin.

Answer 7

Use Homeopathic medicine ECHINACEA 6c,5 drops in a little water four times daily till complaint disappears.

Answer 8

That's awful! Find another doctor ASAP! Also, try to keep your baby clean, cool, and dry as often as possible. Wash her more than once a day if necessary, and try to keep her out of the dirt and heat. Bless her heart!

Answer 9

Get a diff dr

Answer 10

bathe her often and get a new doc that can give you antibiotics if neccesary. She may have staph infections...some people just get them..not from being dirty, they are just sensitve - especially babies, they have impaired immunity because they are not done growing.
