What could be the cause of painful boils above the navel that developed after traveling, and why are they not responding to a two-day course of oral Augmentin and topical Soframycin?

Asked by Male, 25 · 10 days ago

Two days is often too short to see complete healing, but a lack of improvement can happen for a few reasons. The bacteria causing the infection might be resistant to amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) and framycetin (Soframycin). Travel can also expose your skin to unfamiliar bacterial strains. Additionally, if there is a collection of pus beneath the skin, antibiotics struggle to penetrate the area, and it may need to be professionally drained. Please keep the area clean, avoid squeezing them, and consult a doctor to see if a different medication or a simple clinic drainage is necessary.
