Why do I keep getting painful, pus-filled boils all over my body even after taking the antibiotic Droxyl 250, and could the new painful lump in front of my ear be connected to the recent boil on my eye?
Sometimes, the bacteria causing these boils can be resistant to certain antibiotics, or a different treatment approach is needed. Yes, the new painful lump in front of your ear is very likely a swollen lymph node reacting to the infection from the recent boil near your eye; your lymph nodes often swell as they work to fight off nearby infections. I highly recommend visiting your doctor. They can swab a boil to identify the exact bacteria and prescribe the most effective antibiotic.
