Suggest Treatment For Boils And Uncontrolled Vomiting

I was at the doctors had a large what doctor called a boil the size of a toonie maybe even larger there was 2 places pus came out so might of been two. Was put on biaxin 10 pills 2 a day for 5 days and diclofenac 6 pills 3 a day. Took all pills first day. My headache has been severe nothing helps. Day before I took 16 avail jelly in 24 hours that why I finally went doctor. The next day after taking pills I was vomiting uncontrollable so wasn t sure if it was prescription or not. Started just taking anvil again. But now I have had quick onset of pain in my tailbone it started last night today I can barely sit in so much discomfort and pain burning sensation. Does one have anything to do with the other.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of boils, large ones oozing pus and were advised Biaxin, Diclofenac, Anvil; started severe vomiting and now have pain, swelling at the tail bone.
All this indicate that you have a problem with the small spinal bones at the end called coccyx either due to inflammation as a different entity or have satellite abscess.
If so check for diabetes as the first thing.
I would advise you to stop the medicines as any one can cause you gastritis, particularly Diclofenac and start over another ones which you must have taken in past and know that did not cause you any problems in the past.
Get a clinical evaluation and examination done by a General surgeon.
Sitz bath for the tailbone inflammation.
If abscesses have formed, please get the incision and drainage, send pus for culture and sensitivity as it will help in future.
Take care and you will be fine.
