I have had a boil for 1 week its infected so got antibiotics today its open and draining a little but has a jelly like pus thats blocking draining?

Get it to drain: Draining the infected fluid and material inside the boil will most likely be beneficial. Remove anything that is hindering the drainage and continue the antibiotics. If redness starts to spread then you may need reevaluation.
