DS treatment cellulitus!

[beggingbehind]

I have posted this in children's health before this happened iyswim. Ds got cellulitus in arm was put on anti-bs it spread a bit on another anti-b and told to come back if it got worse or go to A&E. This afternnon spread alot pus and liquid coming out of wound and a lump was getting slowly bigger under wound and he was throwing up. I took him to A&E. Nurses were lovely and having waited for a couple of hours to see doc he had a look at it said it hadn't spread (It had since we had been there!) ]hmm] That there wasn't any pus in it (there was clear liquid coming out) to which DS poked it on the lump and a bit of green pus came out doc said "so there is a bit." Said carry on with anti-bs it should be fine theres nothing seriously wrong with it! He asked for pain killers non were given after seeing doc for 5 mins we left! It takes alot of courage for DS to go to hosptitial he went and nothing was done. I wasnt exactly expecting IV anti-bs but at least blood work or something. I might be over reacting but he is prone to celulitus and abbses. Once a doctor left it for a couple days we went back to doc and he ended up having surgery so it just scares me (and him). AIBU to think something else should have been done know DS is refusing togo to hospitial again. Hes been on anti-bs since monday which i realise isnt a long time. Hes in so much pain and fed up so am i .

We've been to nurse she said docs advice wasn't right. She was worried so we saw a doctor who prescribed the strongest anti-b possible we are to give it 2 dayd to try and improve and then to review

Well we've had a development it suddenly popped and loads o CPUs came ot it still hasn't stopped smells awful. But lump has gone down dramatically but he's in so much pain now

*pus

I know you've been told it's cellulitis but does he get lumps or boils or spots anywhere else? Groin, armpit, back of the neck? I have hidradenitis suppurativa and this sounds very similar but more advanced. Don't google if you're the squeamish type as it can be horrendous but you sound of strong stomach the way you're dealing with his arm. I'd suggest having it checked by the nurse again just to check its draining right and not spreading further

We've phoned nurse and she says it's actually good (for now) he needs to get a couple good doses of new anti-bs into him and get it checked tommrow as they should have kicked Inn I will look at that thank you

Well the red has gone down dramatically! But he still has a lump
