What Causes Blisters On The Scrotum While On Antibiotics?

My son had surgery recently and is on antibiotics and strong pain medication. He has started running a temperature and has a sore throat and has just discovered blisters on his scrotum after wski g up to a sweat filled bed. Could this be from the medication?

Hello,

The symptoms of your son seem to be related to a viral infection. The blisters are probably related to shingles. I recommend you to use anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.

I also recommend using throat spray for local application. I suggest you use Acyclovir cream for local application in the scrotum area.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
