A. Heat boils, also known as furuncles, are painful, pus-filled bumps that form under the skin when bacteria infect and inflame one or more hair follicles. For treating heat boils on a child's face, follow these steps: 1. **Warm Compresses**: Apply a warm, moist compress to the boil for about 10-15 minutes, several times a day. This helps to bring the boil to a head and encourages it to drain naturally. 2. **Good Hygiene**: Keep the area clean by gently washing with mild soap and water. Pat dry with a clean towel. 3. **Avoid Squeezing**: Do not try to squeeze or pop the boil. This can spread the infection or push it deeper into the skin. 4. **Antibiotic Ointment**: Apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to the boil and cover it with a sterile bandage. 5. **Pain Relief**: If the child is in pain, you can give them an age-appropriate dose of pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. 6. **Hydration and Diet**: Ensure the child stays well-hydrated and eats a balanced diet to help boost their immune system. 7. **Medical Attention**: Seek medical attention if the boil: - Doesn’t start to improve after a few days of home treatment. - Is very large or painful. - Is accompanied by a fever. - Is recurring. - Appears on the face, especially near the eyes. A healthcare provider may need to drain the boil or prescribe oral antibiotics if the infection is severe or persistent.
