Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have understood it.
Boils or furuncle are actually bacterial infection of/ about the hair follicles often associated with surrounding cellulitis.
If I was the treating doctor I would have advised an oral antibiotic for a week (My choice of oral antibiotic would have been Amoxycillin 500mg in combination with clavulanic acid 125 mg, thrice daily for a week. One such combination is a popular brand marketed by XXXXXXX in India i.e Augmentin 625 mg).
An OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% Mupirocin twice daily can be applied over the boil. Along with oral antibiotics, it would hasten the resolution of infection.
An OTC pain killer e.g Ibuprofen 400mg (bruffen tablets) twice or thrice daily, would provide symptomatic relief from pain and swelling.
I hope this answers your query.
regards
