Parents are always keen to monitor the health of their children, but the appearance of some symptoms on their bodies may be simple, but it is an indication of the presence of a disease that must be followed up with medical assistance.
In this context, one of the mothers sent a picture of her child’s foot to the experts, where a rather strange red rash might be seen.
The surprise was when the doctors diagnosed the little boy with lymphangitis, a bacterial infection that affects these vessels, which are part of the immune system.
Lymphangitis can be caused by other things, such as viruses, fungal infections, and insect bites.
- The red line starts in the affected area and extends up towards the armpit or groin.
- The doctors said that the mark appears and extends and this is a sign that the infection is getting worse and that the infected person needs to seek medical evaluation and treatment, usually with antibiotics.
- If treated quickly, the condition can be mild, but if left untreated, complications can occur and the condition can lead to something more serious like sepsis.
How do we reduce the risk of lymphangitis?
- The skin and nails must be kept clean, as the accumulated dirt can carry bad bacteria.
- If you participate in exercises such as hiking, then you should wear long sleeves as this will help prevent you from being bitten by insects such as mosquitoes.
- You should also avoid swimming in natural waters if you have cuts or sores.
- If bites do occur, you should clean them and see your doctor immediately if they become red or swollen.
