Hi, I am a male 58 years old. Well, I had a boil on the butt 2 days ago but it started to ooze today on its own. So I just wanted to know shall I still take clavam 625 mg thrice a day for a week or is it ok now since the boil has already busted.

Better to start antibiotics even though it has bursted. But always take medicines under medical supervision
