If my boil has opeded up and i feel fine and no fever is it going to be ok and heal correctly?

Watch closely: If a boil opens, drains completely, the pain's improving, no fever and there's no surrounding redness or swelling, it bodes well for your recovery. But watch it closely and see your doc for any increasing pain, fever, redness.
