Can I Exercise While Waiting For A Boil On The Face To Heal ?
Can i exercise while waiting for a boil on the face to heal?? I have just started antibiotics (day two) and the swelling has reduced but it hasn t burst yet. I do quite strenuous exercise (boxing and kick boxing) and am worried about the poison from the boil spreading, if that s possible, just not sure about it.

Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The boil or the infection in it will not cause you any trouble if your exercise is like a regular fitness one but if you want to do boxing /kick boxing then you will have to wait till the boil bursts & heals or it gets settled with antibiotics.Any injury to the boil will cause pain & severe pain can lead to shock so avoid strenous & boxing like exercise.Regular fitness exercise you can do it with care.
take care.
Thanks
