General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, you should see a doctor as soon as possible because infection from the boil may spread to other parts of the body. The doctor will incise & drain the pus and prescribe you appropriate medication. You can start taking antibiotics after consulting with a physician. Thank you for referring to this forum. Regards.
