Question: Hello
I have a 5 month old baby who has been suffering from small boils on the head and body for a month now We have been to the hospital twice and we were given amoxicillin twice but it was not effective The third one a pharmacist prescribed zinat and it cleared it within 5 days Now after a week the boils are back again with body rash What could be the problem Is she getting it from me through breast milk or at the creche Im confused
Answer: Hello  

Good morning 

So sorry to read about your childs recurrent boils To clear the air babies do not get boils from breastmilk breastmilk is infact very healthy and protective 

Is the creche clean is any baby sick in the creche or having similar boils 

I advise you go and see a pediatrician for a review of your childs health 

If you are in Lagos i can direct you to one 

I hope this helps
