Smz Tmp Ds 800 160 For Boil
UpdatedI have a boil in my armpit. I started my antibiotics on thursday night and the pills are called smz/tmp ds 800-160 tab. It is now monday and my boil is not getting any better yet. This morning it busted, in one tiny spot and brownish yellow stuff leaked from it. Should I be concerned that antibiotics aren't helping yet?

You should see improvement after taking an antibiotic for a full 72 hours.
At this point, it would be best to consult your doctor to see what you should do next, you may need to try a different one.
Is there anything else I can help with?
