Infected scrape very painful?!
Question: Infected scrape very painful.?
My son fell off his bike and got a really bad scrape. It got all yellow and infected and I took him to the doctors the doctor put him on antibiotics. I didn't ask him about what to give him for pain because it wasn't hurting him as much as it is now.
Even though it's a scrape would some Tylenol help the stinging and soreness.? He has hard time sleeping because the blankets and pillows bump it as well as his jacket. Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Motrin (ibuprofen) would be better than Tylenol for this type of pain, plus it last for up to six hours. Watch this scrape carefully, if it dont get better quickly go back to the doctorHealth Question & Answer
u should probably put medicine on it everyday and put antibioticcs on it and let him take motrin and let him choose the flavor cuz i like grape flavor and he might like orange flavor or something! during the night, tell him to try and stick his infected leg out of the blanket to get more air through it. if it doesnt heal in about a week (3 at the most probably) then take him to another doctor and see what the other doctor says.Hope he gets better! and say i said hi to him lolHealth Question & Answer
the scrape should have a bandage on it to protect it and keep it clean, the lack of a bandage is likely why it got infected in the first place. If you keep it covered, it won't be so sensitive.Health Question & Answer
they say to alternate Tylenol and motrin every six hours.My grandson broke his arm and he lives with me and that is what they recommended there.Health Question & Answer
