What are my treatment options for a painful, two-year-old deep boil on my buttock that is now spreading into new pus-filled bumps, given that medications like Teczine, Dazit, Augmentine, Taxim O, Cafodroxil, Mupi ointment, and Tbact ointment have not worked and my doctor recommends stronger drugs instead of physically draining it?
It is completely understandable to feel discouraged when previous treatments like Augmentin, Cefadroxil, and mupirocin ointment (Mupi/Tbact) haven't cleared it. Since the bumps are spreading, your doctor?s recommendation for stronger medications is a very safe and appropriate next step. This often involves targeted oral antibiotics or specialized medications to manage chronic inflammation. To ensure we target this effectively, I highly recommend asking your doctor for a fluid culture test. This helps identify the exact bacteria and guides us to the right medication to finally bring you relief.
