What can I do?
What can I do?
Brief Answer:
Tab Motrin 400
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You can take Tab Motrin for the pain. 400mg twice daily after food would relieve you of the pain.
if the concern is about getting rid of the boil, If it is pointing pus then breaking it open will solve more than 50% of the pain.
If not pointing pus, you can apply warm compresses. This will cause the boil to point pus after which you can break it open and release the pressure and pain. Later you can apply a dressing with antibacterial ointment.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
regards,
