My friend's daughter (4 years old) has many boils on her hands and legs. What is it and what is the cure?


Question:
My friend's daughter (4 years old) has many boils in her hands and feet. The boils themself contain pus and very itchy. They have taken her to a doctor, and she is given some oral medicine, something to be applied at baths, and some skin ointment, but with no result.

Local people say that she have "sweet blood" or "sweet flesh", I think it is the same as english term "bad blood".

What is this boils? How to cure it? Is there anything called "bad blood"? what is this "bad blood"?

I feel pity to see a cute little girl with bad skin..

Could someone help me?

Answers:
Please stop all solid food and give her plenty of liquids. Soups, fruit juices and boiled water. In case of soups, some items like tomatoes may not suit her. Change quickly to gourd or something alkaline if she shows any signs of deterioration. As much as she can take. A normal test of adequacy of liquids is that she must urinate at least once every 90 minutes. If the frequency is only 60 or even 30 minutes, do not worry. Let it go on. Her body would be flushed of any toxics and she should be o.k. within a week or maximum two.

Hope this helps. Per se, it can't hurt. There is no need to stop any medications. The above treatment is compatible with any external or oral medication.

Other Answers:
Could the little girl be diabetic? Maybe that's why the locals call it "sweet blood". She needs a thorough check-up and blood tests. If the skin treatments aren't working, there's probably something else going on inside her. Please make sure the little girl gets good medical care and I hope she gets better.
