Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at Healthcaremagic
Recurrent furunculosis/boils is due to staphylococcus aureus colonization of the nasal flora and skin flora.
The best way to approach is to start on an empirical oral antibiotic for a week OR 10 days. My choice of oral antibiotic would have been Amoxycillin 500mg in combination with clavulanic acid 125 mg (Augmentin 625 mg), thrice daily, for a week
OR
Cephalexin (Cap Phexin BD 750mg) twice daily
OR
Cefadroxil 500mg (Tab Droxyl) twice daily, for a week. This would take care of the infection.
Besides, before starting antibiotics you should get a pus culture sensitivity test to determine the causative bacteria and its antibiotic sensitivity.
A blood sugar testing is also advisable
Oral antibiotics would help to eradicate the carrier state, but it may be required to continue antibiotics (guided by culture and sensitivity) for an extended period of time, say 1-3 months.
An OTC antibacterial cream/ointment e.g 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily over the boils as well as to the Vestibule of the external nares, which would help to eradicate nasal carriage of staphylococcus aureus.
General precautions like maintaining meticulous hygiene (personal and surroundings), using antibacterial soaps would also help in addition.
take care

Hi.
Yes, one of the following antibiotics for a week e.g Augmentin 625 mg, thrice daily, for a week OR Cap Phexin BD 750 mg twice daily OR Tab Droxyl-Clav 625 mg twice daily, for a week.
Topical T-Bact Ointment, twice daily for a week over the boils as well as just inside the external nares, which would help to eradicate nasal carriage of staphylococcus aureus.
Antibacterial soap for bath e.g Soapex soap
Get a pus culture sensitivity before starting oral antibiotics and also a blood sugar test.
