<human>: My 14 yr old son has a boil at the end of the lumbosacral spine. It has watery fluid and a little blood flowing from it. The boil appear 5 days back. Today he has fever also. I have been applied Neosporin dusting powder on it. Do we need to get him to a doctor and will he need antibiotics??
<bot>: Definitely. Fever, watery discharge and swelling at the lower end of spine indicates severe infection. It could be simple boil or colonial sinus. You must visit to a general surgeon and start antibiotic according to his prescription. Hope this answers your question.
