My baby is 16 months old and has a really bad boil on her bottom. she's had it for several days now and got a fever as well. why should i do?

Has to be seen: Skin and soft tissue infection over the buttock and upper inner thigh are pretty common. Once abscess is formed, incision and drainage are required.
