Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 Hey guys, Nick has a few mosquito bites that now look like they have become infected. One of the back of his neck that has been there a week, the area around it is very red and it has a large hole in the middle and is puss-y ( yuck sorry) Today I found another one on his arm that is not quite as bad looking ( im putting bacitracin on them) but is stll red and infected looking. My question is that Nick has started to run high fevers. Right now its 103 after a dose of tylenol 1 hour ago. He fell asleep on the sofa. Are these fevers related to the mosquito bites?? do i have to worry because of all the meds he is on??? ( remicade, MTX, prednisone, relafan, prilosec, folic acid) ON a side note, Nick was at the dentist today before the fevers hit and has to have 6 teeth pulled ASAP as his baby teeth are not falling out and his adult ones are trying to come in. The dentist plans on doing this all at once, with Nick awake in a 2 hour appt. YIKES!! I was not at the appt, hubby was, i was sleeping. But i get the pleasure of taking him for the appt. Poor Kid! Any advice/help on the bits would be must appreciated. Thanks guys!@ Hugs Helen and (8,systemic) Quote
