Okay..For how long do you have it ? Is surrounding area redness present/pain on touching it ?
Is there any discharge or itching ?
Which antibiotics were taken ?
Next Steps
you can take a picture of swelling and share with surgeon if physically not present for examination. surgeon will decide whether to continue medications or not.
Health Tips
need further analysis.. if it's simple boil needs no further management but sometimes there is underlying sinus/fistula which later on may have issues.
