Is it normal for my boil not to come to a head or drain, even though I am using warm compresses and taking my prescribed antibiotic?

Sometimes, antibiotics work from the inside out, clearing the infection so that the boil gradually shrinks and is reabsorbed by your body without ever coming to a head or draining. Please continue taking your prescribed antibiotic exactly as directed and keep using the warm compresses. If the boil becomes significantly more painful, grows larger, or if you develop a fever, please reach out to your healthcare provider for a quick check-in.
