Sounds like: it's time for some drainage. Antibiotics alone are unlikely to "cure" boils but do limit their expansion and the pain from the infection. Call your doctor's office and describe what is going on.Chances are he/she will want to see you sooner than your scheduled appointment! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
