I have a boil developing on my chest due to a broken hair, and it has just started. Last time a doctor prescribed Ampoxin 250 mg, and it helped. Should I take the same medicine again, or what should I do?
A boil caused by an infected hair follicle may improve with simple care in the early stage. Keep the area clean and apply a warm compress several times a day to reduce swelling and help healing. Do not start antibiotics such as Ampoxin on your own even if it helped before. Consult a doctor if the boil becomes larger, more painful, or filled with pus.
