Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a baseball sized boil/bite or abscess on my back between my shoulder blade along my spine. the emergency room gave me antibiotics but what are other things I can do to relieve pain and drain infection? I am in severe pain. I cannot move to do anything.
Hi, It seems that there might be having forming abscess producing this type of swelling and symptoms. If you are diabetec then chance of having carbuncle is likely. Continue with antibiotic medicine. Take anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen or Dicolphenec with paracetamol to get relief from pain. Ok and take care.
