Question
A four-month-old baby has perianal swelling, and sometimes a little pus may leak out.
Answer
If a baby has perianal swelling and it is not treated immediately, the swelling may spread and worsen the condition, turning a minor illness into a severe one. Timely medical intervention, including possible debridement surgery, is necessary to prevent the abscess from spreading further. It is important to avoid relying on antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine plasters for conservative treatment to prevent delaying the surgery opportunity.
