9mth old girl swollen red and hard nipple! she is being treated for impetigo with erythromycin 200 syrup and bactroban (mupirocin) ointment. should i worry, boil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mastitis in a baby?: Make warm compresses with a clean wet warm washcloth over the area wrapped in Saran wrap for now to increase blood flow, encourage healing, and drainage of any boil or abscess. Please follow up with her pediatrician tomorrow. If it enlarges, becomes more painful, your child has a high fever or becomes lethargic, ER.
