What can be used on a small septic wound without a prescription to draw out pus?
If you have a fever, the area around the wound is an angry red (more than a dark pink or simple red), or you are having serious pain see a doctor.If it's on an area like a hand where you can, soak the entire area in a hot salt water solution. If not, try putting a hot compress on it. Soak the cloth with hot salt water. Do this several times a day.At the drugstore you can get a "drawing salve" that will draw boils and infections to a head fairly quickly. Look for the active ingredient ichthammol or ichthyolin the ointment. Some have ichthammol in the name. CVS has one named 'Ichthammol Ointment'
What is black drawing salve for skin boils?
I unfortunatly suffer from frequent boils. Usually in armpits, between thighs and now worse in the back of my head. I have used this on and off. First of all its no miracle cure. The way it works it softens the skin on and around the boil. This theoretically causes the blood to flow easier. Causing the pus to be pushed up and hopefully busting the boil. It doesnt always work though. There has been times ive put it on and the next day it burst. Theres been times ive put it on and it did nothing. There's no way i know for sure if would of bust on its on. I suggest hot compress(which may or may not work) followed by the draw out salve. Leave the salve on for about 2 hours after the hot compress. Do this several times a day for 2 days. IF nothing happens I would just leave the boil alone because at this point its not responding to the treatment and you are just irritating it and the skin around it. Helpful tip if you cant find the Draw out salve in the aisle ask the pharmacist they usually have a tube or two in the back. Since this isnt a hot selling item some pharmacies wont dedicate space to it.
How do you treat a boil?
Boils are painful swellings. Modern medicine teats the boils with antibiotics and surgery (if pus is required to be drained). Traditionally however boils are usually associated with increase in the heat in body. In modern parlnece this may be increased calorigenesis associated with infections. It is good to reconcile both views. Drinking lot of water and avoiding heat producing edibles such as pulses eggs etc. and consuming calming agents such paripath, vala (khus), sandalwood, turmeric etc can be combined with antibiotics and surgery. These views may be discussed with our family physicians and verified.

How do you administer erythromycin eye ointment to a newborns eyes?
It is easier if you have two adults for this. First, wash your hands thoroughly if you wil be administering the ointment. Make sure the outside of the tube is clean also. While the helping adult holds the infant, cradling the infant's head in the crook of an elbow to stabilize it, ideally with the child's face turned slightly outward, away from the body of the bradley cradler. Uncap the tube of ointment and set it on a clean tissue. Expel a small amount of ointment from the tube to clear away any residual ointment that might be contaminated from a precious application., Use the thumb and index or middle finger of one hand to gently hold an eye open while carefully, steadily use your better hand to bring the tip of the tube within half a centimeter or about a quarter of an inch away from the inside corner of the eye. Begin gently squeezing the tube until the fresh ointment starts to exude, letting the ointment fall into the inner corner. Now, without putting the tip of the tube any closer to the child's eye draw the tube too toward the outer corner of the eye while simultaneously squeezing the tube to keep the ointment coming at the same rate as that required to prevent breaking the flow of the ointment, of possible. The ointment should fall into and across the entire eye from corner to corner. Stop when the ointment has reached the outer corner and stop squeezing the tube. Do not simply draw the tube away from the child's eye at this point, because you risk pulling the bead of ointment out of the eye. Squeeze enough extra ointment as you pull away the tube from the eye that there is rom for you to use a very clean fingertip to break the extended bead from the tube tip. It is okay if this extra ointment falls onto the child's skin around the outer eye. Use a clean tissue now to carefully wipe away this extra ointment so the bead ends just inside the outer corner of the child's eye. You may release the child's eyelids and the child will blink immediately. Try to do all of this fairly quickly, but don't sacrifice care for speed. Repeat with the other eye. You may find it best for your helper to change the child's position to the other side, again putting the other eye closest to you and away from the helper's body. Don't be alarmed if the child's blinks seem to push some of the ointment out. Enough wil stay in to do the job. Also, like most mothers, I was able to do things without a helper with practice.

What can one do about knee and joint pain?
Knee pain can be caused by numerous reasons.. As for me, I'm 16 years old, and I had suffered from knee pain for about 3 years before I finally went too see a doctor. My doctor said that my knee caps were dis-positioned, which means that they are not laying properly on the bones in my legs such as other people, which causes great pain and discomfort. She had me go to physical therapy for it, and the therapist had me do exercises to strengthen my legs, (quadricepts, glutes, and calves) which helped to position my knee caps correctly. The best way to find out what to do about any sort of pain is to go see your doctor, or a trained professional.
