A member asked:

My grand daughter is 8 months old...she has a boil. is there anything i can do at home? her doctor isnt returning my calls

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Apply heat: For the time being the application of heat in the form of a warm compress or a heating pad can help. This may bring a boil to a head & help it drain. An office visit to evaluate the need for antibiotics or surgical drainage is appropriate.
