HelloUsually these boils are due to staphylococcal infection or streptococcus infection or other bacteria. In most of the cases usually cause is bacteria. When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take. Ampicillin+ oxacillin 250 mg each three times in day for 5-7 days. Also take aceclofinac 200 mg C R twice in day. I also advise them to take serratiopeptidase 20 mg three times in day for 5-7 days. Within this period these boils become sterile (. No infection). After once treated and cured, if recurs then get in blood examination for blood sugar level as well as E S R, C B C. Then consult a primary care physician. Hope this will help you.
