Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 47 year old getting boils on face, severe abdominal pain, bloating, discomfort around stomach/abdominal area, feeling very weak, trouble with bowel movements, that is not much and in small slithers...
Your history is indicative of intestinal problems which can be Enteric infection with generalized constitutional symptoms hence giving the boils on the face.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get the tests of blood: CBC, Sugar, Widal, liver and kidney functions.
Tests of stool and urine.
Pus from the boils for gram staining and culture sensitivity.
Get an appropriate antibiotic and additional symptomatic and supportive treatment.
Get the review by your Doctor regularly and get treated any other medical problems found out during the course of investigations .
I find this answer helpful
