Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Boils most of times are due to infections which can be treated with specific antibiotics.The specific antibiotics are ones to which the infecting organism ( bacteria ) is sensitive to.

I would suggest you to get a test called "Culture and antibiotic sensitivity test" of the pus sample from one of your boil.The test gives list of antibiotics which are best against the infecting organism.This will cure your problem.

Hope I have answered your query.
