What are the side effects of Bactroban ointment?

The son was taking bactroban ointment, suddenly there were canker sores in his mouth, a swollen cheek, a runny nose, fever and malaise. Now some strange lichen on his leg and everything itches. Is it possible that it is because of this ointment?

I was currently using Bactroban nasal ointment. And I think that the malaise and runny nose that occurred in me is the result of this ointment. Infections, colds are always combined with purulent discharge from the nose, and now the discharge was only transparent.

The symptoms you describe are not known side effects of Bactroban. Most likely, there was a development of an infection that does not even have to be associated with a previous condition. In this case, it is best to go with your son to the doctor as soon as possible.

General hypersensitivity reactions associated with the use of mupirocin contained in Bactroban ointment are very rare. Without collecting a detailed interview and examining the child, it is impossible to conclude about the causes of the ailment. The described symptoms require urgent consultation with a pediatrician.
