Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in.
The boil you have on your labia minora is possible abscess/infected hair root. Antibiotics you are having for another treatment might also have good effects in treating the boil too.
You might need also to:
- keep good genital hygiene
- apply betadine locally
With regards to headaches you feel, it might be due to other diagnosis for which you were put on antibiotics by your doctor.
Hope it was of help!
