I'm dealing with this painful boil or skin inflammation right on my hip line. It's not filled with pus, but it's really hard and hurts a lot, making it tough for me to walk properly. I've tried putting tbact on it overnight and I'm taking roxid, but nothing seems to help. What should I do?

Tab allegra 120 mg at bedtime for 7 days and tab augmentin 625 mg thrice daily for 5 days oraly is advised to the patient.
