A member asked:

Infection from dermabond wound. they have to have more than one symptom? my son has a fever. he's also teething 19 months old

Take him to doctor: If the wound appears red, swollen, feels like it has liquid, draining or smells bad it may be infected. This type of infection can cause a fever. Take him back to where he had the wound repaired so that they can evaluate him. Many times just a small little piece needs to be opened for drainage. I would not delay on having him evaluated by a doctor.

Seek care: Teething is a normal natural process. Infection is not. Please take your child back to whoever treated the wound for reevaluation. This is not something that can wait. Please go now.
