Pus
As deep infantigo develops, the blisters that form may be filled with pus instead of clear fluid. These sores may be more tender and swollen than with other types of infantigo.2‘Impetigo - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 21 Apr. 2021, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/impetigo/symptoms-causes/syc-20352352
Sometimes it may be hard to tell if the fluid in a child's blisters is pus or not. Parents can seek the help of a doctor in identifying this symptom. A doctor may be able to evaluate the blisters by sight or take a sample of the fluid inside them.4‘Ecthyma: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000864.htm
