Finish antibiotics: A 39 year old female with a boil (or abscess) drained in the ER and now on antibiotics. These skin infections are often treated with a combination drainage + antibiotics for several days (maybe all the way up to 14 days after drainage). Please finish the course of antibiotics the ER physician prescribed.
