How Can severe Swelling And Pain In The Chest Be Treated?
I have boils that won t heal and a high white count. I started a broad spectrum antibiotic Friday. I also have pain in my chest-sometimes sharp-and a lot of swelling so I started the generic for lasics (sp) and I feel very tired and sick. There is also a small open soar on my ankle that is not healing. Suggestions?

thanks for your query to hcm .
as I understand it is because of some infection . First I suggest you to undergone culture and sensitivity examination of your discharge from boil . It will suggest about the causative organism and its antibiotic profile to treat. use of broad spectrum antibiotic without sensitivity report increases chances of drug resistance in bacteria . you can take serratiopeptidase and aceclophenac for pain and swelling .
review wih culture report .
