Boils near Ears

Asked for Male, 6 years

My baby 9 Months old has this kind of boils near his right ear. I applied polyfax and it had puss. After a day or 2, it appeared to be healing. Afterwards, he has got the same kind on his head too. Since he is teething so refuses ost of the solid food. Nowadays just eats a banana and a boiled and mashed potato in the whole day. So he is on mother feed and I am fasting. My mother in law says that's because you are fasting and it's nothing to worry about. Is it?

I'm sorry to hear this. Please take him to a child specialist. These seem infected and he will need some antibiotics to help cure this completely.
