Hi,
Was the boils also on the diaper area? When the antibiotic was completed? If painful, this can indicates infection/cellulitis there, necessitating another course of antibiotic.
If no much pain/local redness/warmth, and no fever, just try paracetamol/ibuprofen three times a day after food for 3 days. If not getting down by then , or the above said features are present, kindly get back to doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
