Hi
I understand your concern.
If some patient walk in my clinic with this complain then i prefer both local and systemic antibiotics.
Local application of T BACT. or neomycine cream over boils three times in a day.
Systemic antibiotic like cefixime or cefuroxime for 7 days.
Take analgesic like diclofenac with paracetamol to relive pain.
Avoid sex till healing and use loose undergarment, wash with warm water.
I hope i have answered your query.
Still have a query then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Take care.
