My Son Is Almost 10. In June He Developed An

my son is almost 10. In June he developed an abscess on his knee that became infected and was put on bactrim. It cleared in a few days. This past monday we noticed one on his elbow went in and was put on bactrim again. At the appt he showed the dr a small cut on his thumb and said it also hurt we kind of brushed it off.Today day two of antibiotics his elbow is looking good (the abscess drained) however that small cut on his thumb is looking infected. He also has two fairly large styes on his right ete bottom and top lid. He has had 3 other styes this summer as well.
the past couple weeks he has been a lot moodier and tempermental than usual. He also complains of frequent headaches. I am feeling concerned and am going to call the dr in the am. would also like blood tests run to see if there is something we are missing. Am I over reacting?
