I'm dealing with a boil near my buttock, kind of close to the anus, and it's been there for the past two days. It's not too big yet but is a bit painful, especially when I sit down. There's just this one boil, but I'm really worried it might grow larger and become more painful. I started taking Augmentin 625 mg once a day at night and so far, I've only taken one tablet last night. Should I keep taking the antibiotics? Is it even necessary? Some of my friends mentioned it might be due to body heatcould that be true? This is the first time I've experienced something like this, and I could really use some advice.

View allI've been having these painful bumps, like funsi or foda, popping up on various parts of my body lately. I'm kind of worried because they hurt a lot, and when I visited a local doctor, they mentioned something about it being linked to higher TLC and ESR levels. I'm not sure what all this means. Could you please help me understand if this is really the cause and how I can deal with it?
