Draws: When we say 'draw an infection to the surface" what is really meant is getting the body's infection fighting cells to aggregate at the site of infection (make an abscess) and having that abscess rupture and drain. Intermittent heat packs: a wash cloth in warm (not scalding hot, microwaved or boiling) water can be placed on the site as often as the patient is able. Once an abscess forms, drain.
