A member asked:
Can a boil make you feel run down and ill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Any infection can lead to systemic symptoms due to the inflammatory process it causes. If you are having systemic symptoms such as these (especially if you also have a fever) you should seek medical care to determine if the boil needs to be drained and if you need to be treated with antibiotics.
