It's a boil apparently, some kind of scary boil anyway, he's prescribed fucidin cream and flucloxacillin (I googled spelling lol) medicine (it's pink! Euan was a bit upset that it was girly pink and not yellow lol) I'm pleased though because it's not the one that sends him hyperactive. We put some cream on and gave him a spoon of medicine before he left us to go back to school, hopefully just in time for his lunch.
The doc seemed very confused that we had let it get so bad, he didn't understand that it was only last week that it went big, and then overnight Saturday it grew three times bigger, it wasn't always that big otherwise I would have done something about it. Poor Euan.
I'm surprised that he is not remotely bothered about the pain to be honest, surely it must hurt, it's certainly given him a temperature and a grumpy aspect.
I just hope that the medicine makes it better so that he doesn't have to have it lanced or flushed :S though I don't think they do that unless it's an abscess? But I guess if it's a non-curable boil on a child's arm they'd want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
At least that explains his recent behaviour, I should remember, I say this time and time again, that if he is especially playing up, to check his temperature regularly because he is usually poorly and fighting some kind of infection.
I have lost count of the times I've tried to remind myself this.
Anyway.. that's the low down on Euan's Alien being.
