Question
The baby has a slight fever with red bumps and cries frequently. We’ve gone to the hospital for checks, but no results have been found. What should we do?
Answer
This could be impetigo, with initial symptoms of red spots or blisters around the mouth and nose. After the blisters break, they become red and swollen. Follow the doctor’s instructions to use ointment and take oral medication; typically, it can be healed within a week. The fluid from the burst blisters is contagious, so handle it with care.
