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??
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.
