A. For instant relief from pain, a warm compress can be placed on the affected area for a few mins. Repeat this a few times during the day. This also helps the pus to ooze out of the boil, after which the healing can begin. Try applying honey to the boil as honey is a natural antiseptic. Or putting turmeric powder on the boils can also prove useful in treating them as turmeric is antiseptic. Maintain proper hygiene. Give a healthy and balanced diet to your baby. Wash hands repeatedly while handling the baby. Regularly change baby's towels and bedsheets. Wash baby's clothes with hot water. Regularly clean the affected area properly with a suitable antiseptic to prevent the infection from spreading. In case the boil bursts, wipe the area clean with some cotton and antiseptic wash. On drying, cover it with gauze or dressing to prevent the baby from touching it.
