Suggest Treatment For Redness And Discharge From Wound
the boy I look after got a scratch on his foot on Saturday. His mum put a plaster on it with savlon under a faster healing plaster. The area looks like a popped blister and is covering most of his upper foot. The doctor yesterday said it is not infected and the nurse out a different type of plaster on it and said no savlon. Today it is weeping a bit and looks red and sore do I need to let it breathe , he is a little distressed about what it looks like.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some irritation on the part due to applying saturated savlon and there seems to be having secondary bacterial infection leading to oozing, sore.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Clean local part with warm water and dress it with antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
