abscess in kids

For the last 4 months or so Ive had a thickening of the skin over my right axillae. I has a huge abscess in the area which resolved spontaneously after antibiotics. I noticed the irregularity in my skin soon afterwards. The lump hasnt increased in size but it wont go away either. Any thoughts??....thanks.

Hi angel114, Typically if a abscess forms you take antibiotics,and if it's bad enough they have to also be drained,you can't really "cut out" an abscess,at least not without taking healthy tissue with it. Your grandmother should receive a pelvic exam to determine the cause and extent of the abscess to determine the correct treatment,a small sample may also be taken to rule out cancer beings she is post menopausal.

An abscess is basically a build up of pus and infection in the jaw bone area. I assume that since you've seen a dentist recently, it probably would've been spotted at your last checkup as they generally develop from large cavities. There are abscess that also develop from gum disease as well but assuming you had a cleaning and check up, thats also a little more unlikely. Best to get it checked out and taken care of.

More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes. But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.

painful lumps in the anus/rectum, pain and swelling in the anus or buttocks area, painful bowel movements, fever/ or night sweats, and abdominal pain. Antibiotics treat the infection that has caused the abscess. The specific antibiotic depends on what infectious organism has caused the abscess. Whether the abscess is drained or not, antibiotics are always used to treat the underlying infection. Needle aspiration of the abscess to remove the infectious fluid.

The reason I have reocurring fistulas was due to a abscess that was opened from the wrong direction, by a gynecologist. So maybe another abscess.

Either your husband has been bitten by something or you have developed an abscess. If it is an abscess it will need to be drained. Take an anti-inflammatory analgesic like ibuprofen and an anti allergic and see if that helps. If it is an insect bite, it will improve. However if the insect’s sting is left inside, then also it will not heal unless the sting is removed. Keep the hand raised on a pillow kept beside him when he is lying—basically avoid the hand hanging down.

From what you are describing I would think it may be a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. The Bartholin glands are in the lower portion of the vagina and while the cyst isn't supposed to be painful, the abscess is and I would imagine if the cyst were big enough it would hurt. You may want to see your gyn about this. Also you can google Bartholin's cyst and you will get a lot of information.

Please help anyone? 7 wks ago i got an abscess incision and drainage(jus next 2 anus) after being admitted to hospital it literally accured over a 3 day period with antibiotics having no effect, the insision was so small it made the packing of cavity the most painfull ordeal i have ever experienced..

This may be brought about by a break in the skin/areola, producing a superimposed infection and thus abscess formation. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage must be done and the specimen is sent to the pathologist for evaluation. Good luck.

Over the past couple days I developed an extremely painful abscess. In an attempt to clean my mouth using coconut oil the abscess burst. I believe I didn't swallow any of the liquid leaking out and throughly rinsed my mouth with salt water and then some hydrogen peroxide. I will be receiving insurance in about 2 weeks from my new job so I am hoping I can hold off going to the dentist till then.

SO glad to hear you are feeling better! We made it to day 3!!!!! We are on our way my brother! I woke up with a blinding toothache. I have had a broken tooth for a while but since I was taking so many drugs, it never hurt, but wow is it hurting now. I have a dentist appt. this afternoon and for the first time in years I'm not trying to figure out how I can score drugs from the dentist. I am actually looking forward to telling him that I wont be needing narcotic pain meds, just ibuprofen!!

Hi I woke up and felt a lump on my cheek (right) , I can't see anything in my gums and on my cheek it doesn't look swelled up , though you can definitely feel a lump Any ideas what it is or how to get rid of

Sorry for another question. Is the perianal abscess or the opening of an anal fistula considered as an open sore/wound? Many thanks in advance.

Tooth numbness can be caused due to a number of reasons like apical abscess, pulpitis, impacted tooth, dental abscess, dental cavities. It would be better if you consult a good dentist for the purpose at the earliest.

I have a white lump that has appeared in my gum above my front tooth. It isn't painful but when pressed I feel pressure on my tooth. It has been there about 3 weeks now. What it is?

Hi, lump in the gums above and adjacent to the teeth most commonly can be tooth abscess or fistula opening due to infected tooth. You may just check out any frank cavity or food imapaction area in related teeth to the swelling. In such case you may need antibiotics and root canal treatment of the affected tooth with the help of a dentist. Other possibilties could be pyogenic granuloma, fibroma, periodontal abscess etc. Check out with local dentist to confirm.

Breast swelling with pain in ribs and headache can be due to fibroadenosis (treated by Danazol and other hormones) or due to abscess in the breast. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examination. An abscess of breast would need incision and drainage. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Take care!

Other answers I found while searching for something to help me. t sounds as though you might have what is known as a Bartholin's abscess or cyst. There are glands in the vaginal lips called Bartholin’s glands. These can become painful and swollen, and an abscess can form. This often causes blockage in the main duct from the gland, and a cyst develops. This is felt as a painless, hard swelling.

As the surgeon was out of the city so i thought not to go with a new doctor/surgeon, then in another 7-8 days a big abscess was formed and it busted automatically on 1st of August, almost 350-500 ml puss came out then. I got a swab/puss report on 5th of August and it indicated "Staphylococcus Aureus" bacteria. After looking into the report, my surgeon advised me to start "Dalacin C - 300 mg" twice a day and then I continued it for 4 days.

Hi! I had lower back pain and an MRI showed following findings: - Sacralisation of L5 vertebra - An altered marrow signals involving L5 and S1 vertebrae including left ala with an associated soft tissue representing granulation tissue / abscess in paracentral region (left > right) as well as an intra spinal anterior epidural soft tissue component compressing thecal sac and nerve roots of lumbo-sacral plexus s/o- An infective -inflammatory pathology like Koch's.

Hi there. Gosh, this sounds terrible. I'm sorry you are going through all of this. You've been through it before (do you have a condition causing these cysts called hydroadenitis?) so know what to expect. This is different. Honestly, I'd check in. This is your health and if you feel like something isn't right, follow up on that.

s are....... How does an infection / abscess in the mother cat affect the unborn kittens?? What sort of abnormalities can occur in the kittens?? And..... How long does it usually take for abscesses to heal?? My cat is in so much pain and is still lame in her paw, but the vet said he doesn't want to give her any painkillers because she is pregnant.

I'm a 24 year old female with no kids, generally healthy, taking prozac and oral contraceptives. For the last 3+ years I've had some amount of rectal bleeding with every BM. Before the bleeding began, I had a perirectal abscess. I don't know how that could be linked, but shortly after the abscess wound healed, the bleeding began. It is usually a small amount of red blood on the toilet paper. There also appears to be blood on the outside of the stool (the blood is bright red).

The abscess didnt resolve and I started getting swelling in my cheek. They then recommended that #13 be extracted. That was done in early Sept. The abscess resolved and the extraction site healed good. But I still have swelling in my cheek. I had a 103 temp and enlarged lymph nodes in my neck, both sides in October. I went to ER and they gave me IV antibiotics and a script for Amoxicilian, during the other RCT and extraction treatments I was given Clindamycin.

Hello, From your symptoms,it looks like a Bartholin's abscess or cyst. There are glands in the vaginal lips called Bartholin’s glands. These can become painful and swollen, and an abscess can form. Keep your vaginal area clean and dry. Use cold compresses on itchy areas. Do not use soap, alcohol or things that will dry the area. Use vaginal cleansing foam and apply topical antibiotics like Neosporin. Consult a physician if the symptoms persist as you may need oral antibiotics.

Go get the test its simple and they can put you on the right antibiotics but above all else if you suspect MRSA, avoid touching the kids. Kids can carry MRSA in their noses without ever getting it. But if you have it you can give it to them, wash your hands alot, spray the phone with lysol after you use it, keep your feet covered. The symptoms rang, I had sores on my face, I had a huge abscess on my forehead which had mega amount of puss in it. I am permantely scared .
