A member asked:
My 2 year old keeps getting abscess 1 on the back and thigh i already gave her antibiotics what is causing this? is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: My first step would be to culture the fluid from the abscess to make sure the right antibiotic is being given. Additional steps might be taken based on those results to decrease any colonization in the nose.
