child might be having a local streptococcal or staph infection. Mesporin(ceftriaxone) is a good antibiotic against these gram positive infections.
Give it at a dose of 80 to 100 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses. give the child some antipyretic for fever(like acetaminophen). keep a good nutrition and hydration for the child.
