A member asked:

My daughter is 2+ and has pus boils in her buttocks with a lump and fever at 37.3 c please advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have treated: The best treatment for a boil is to have it opened and drained.Sometimes a warm compress will draw the infection up so it will drain, but these often recur unless treated.
