Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

You seem to harbour some infection there. You should be investigated further after a physical examination. Complete blood counts, X RAY chest etc. may be required.

Antibiotics and other treatment should be started depending on the clinical scenario. Please contact your doctor at the earliest before the situation worsens.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
