Boils are usually caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus, and the lesions are mostly pea-sized red painful nodules, which can be treated with medication and traditional Chinese medicine.
1. Medication: If the boil is not suppurated in the early stage, patients can use medication for local application as prescribed by the doctor, commonly used medications are mupirocin ointment, 20% ichthyolite ointment, etc. If the local use of medication is ineffective and the lesions are large, patients can also take antibiotics orally as prescribed by the doctor, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, and levofloxacin.
23. Surgery: If the patient is in the advanced stage and the boil breaks down and suppurates, the patient can follow the doctor’s instructions to undergo surgical incision and drainage treatment, and then change the medication after the operation.
Specific treatments should be chosen under the guidance of doctors according to their own conditions, and should not use, stop or change medication without authorization. Patients should keep their skin clean in daily life and avoid eating spicy, greasy and other stimulating foods to avoid aggravating the symptoms.
