What medicines safe to my boils while im in breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: A doctor should be giving it to you to make sure the cause is treated. Most of the time a boil has to be drained for antibiotics to work and penetrate the area of infection. Just make sure quinolones and tetracyclines are not used.
