What may I have with skin infected boils? I saw what looked like a spider bite or ingrown hair about 20 days ago on my forearm. i thought i may have seen a hair(small black dot) so I picked at it and it became very infected. I saw a nurse practioner, and she gave me Keflex for 7 days. The infection did not get better, so I went back to the the doc before a vacation. They suggested I am prediabetic (beacuse of lack of healing) and I am going for lab work tomorrow. Diabetes does run on my mother's side of the family. In meantime I travelled and got another "boil" looking raised thing on my right shoulder. A few dasy later my acne (pre period) was acting up on my face, and I noticed a very bad "zit" on my jawline, which now I am sure is the same as the other two I had. I have looked a MRSA pics online, and staph, and thought it was that. I am very concerned and want the doc to get to the bottom of this asap. What qs should I ask tomorrow? Is this mrsa, food allergies, other diseases? What tests & qs should I ask?

My son started his first antibiotic today and now he's running a temp of 100.7! Should I be worried? He was running a low grade fever of 99.3 on Sunday. I gave him some infant tylenol and it had dropped back into the normal range (which for him is lower 98s) within an hour. He didn't seem to have any more problems through Sunday and most of Monday. That evening, he began sneezing and had a bit of a runny nose. I made an appointment at his pediatrician this morning and was sent home with the diagnosis of allergies and a possible infection (the 99.3 fever is the only evidence that an infection may be present). The doctor prescribed him Zyrtec for the allergies and Keflex for the infection. This is his first antibiotic. I start it as soon as we returned home. He has taken too doses and now he's running a fever of 100.7! I read the information sheets on the medication and it states that a fever is a rare but serious side effect. Should I be worried? I'm debating on taking him to the ER but I know that 102 and above is considered a fever for an infant his age (9 months). I just don't know if this would fit in the same catergory or not... Thanks in advance for your help! I have given him tylenol tonight. It hasn't dropped it very much at all (it's still over 100) and it's been an hour and a half since I gave it to him. His temperature was 100.7 when I first checked it at 1:30 AM. I gave him the tylenol and waited for it to kick in. His temperature was 100.1 at 3:00 AM. The tylenol just isn't dropping it much at all. I'm not going to sleep tonight. Too worried about him so I'll be keeping an eye on it. Diaper bag is already packed. The second it starts to rise again, I'm loading him up and we're leaving.
