Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this boil. With you on antibiotics already, the next step would be to control the pains. Tylenol and ice packs would help address the pain. Also, if this boil is big in size and is collected, there would be need to drain for relief and rapid healing. Also, get iron supplements to build up iron stores. Your WBC are on the upper end of normal but nothing too alarming to be worried about. Was you hemoglobin level measured and what was the value?
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
