Hi My son is 1 and a half. He had a bump with pus in it about 3 weeks ago that looked similar to an ant bite. but then it festered up more. I took him to the hospital and they said it was an abscess. Now he has another one closer to the top of his head that loo way worse. I m taking him to his pediatrician in the morning but I m curious as to whether its something more considering this is the second one in a month.
Hi...recurrent abscesses definitely needs evaluation as you are feeling. If I were your treating pediatrician I would definitely evaluate him for immunodeficiency disorder and follow up further even if everything turns out to be normal. My considerations would be Hyper IE syn Chat Doctor. Regards -
