Question

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.

I've been dealing with this fungal infection on my neck for over four months, and it's really frustrating. I've been using Onabet for it, but instead of getting better, it seems to be getting worse. I'm starting to worry. Do you know any stronger medicine that could actually clear this up?
