Hello,
thanks for using health care magic

the main treatment for boils is incision and drainage.
Once the boil is collected, an incision has to be made and
the pus drained.

Since the pain is increasing and the boil is now red, it implies
the boil is already collected. In such a case, even a mild pressure
can force open the boil.

So, you can apply some pressure to force it open and squeeze
to expel the pus by yourself without necessarily going to the
hospital.

You could take a short course of antibiotics say cloxacillin or amoxicillin
for 5 days or so.

Best regards
Dr Achuo
