How long does it take amox-clav to start healing a boil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Antibiotics take at least 48-72 hours to work. But for a boil, Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) may not work if the infection is mrsa. See your doctor if not better in the time above or if worsens.
