A member asked:
My son stiches are infected we have antibiotics but he woke up with fever and the redness appears to be moving up hand is it blood poisoning?

Needs evaluation : take him now to a pediatric ER for evaluation. He may need IV antibiotics and certainly needs to be seen by a physician in person.
