Question
A 14-month-old baby has developed a swelling on the left side of the clavicle, which has inflamed and formed an abscess. Although pus extraction and surgical removal have been performed, the inflammation recurs. Parents are asking about definitive treatment methods.
Answer
This condition may be due to regional infection, where pathogenic bacteria settle and reproduce in a specific area, producing harmful substances that continuously harm the body. Since the child is young and has a weaker immune system, they are prone to abscess formation. It is recommended to use antibiotics for intravenous treatment as early as possible. Parents should take their child to a large hospital for examination and treatment promptly and follow medical instructions for symptomatic medication.
