Headache and puss formtn in head
My father earlier he was having severe headache and after that puss has formed and it's coming from head in regular interval. Even his nearby lips area got swelled. What to do
Where exactly is the pus formation, the scalp or the face near nose and lips ?
Start an antibiotic like co amoxyclav 1000 twice daily, paracetamol 650 thrice daily and bring him to my clinic. I need to see him clinically. Abscesses need to be drained surgically. There is no scope for theoretical procrastination on the part of the doctor.
And abscesses are mostly due to bacterial infections unless it's a cold one where granulomatous infection is responsible.
