Pus filled boil in right underarm
I have a painful boil in my right underarm since the last 4 days which is filled with pus and seems to be increasing in size gradually. Yesterday, some white pus came out of it naturally. Today, again some white pus came out after I pressed it from the sides. It is becoming more pus filled and painful as days go by. Please let me know how to cure this quickly as I need to travel out of station soon and this boil is not helping me.
