  5. Ive been dealing with a boil-like skin issue near the entrance of my buttocks for the past 3 days, and its causing pain, especially when I go to the toilet. Its making it really difficult to sit or walk comfortably. Ive been using the following medicines as prescribed by my family doctor, but Im not seeing quick recovery:- Bactifix (Ointment)- Acemiz-S (Paracetamol, Serratiopeptidase, Aceclofenac Tablets)- Onoff-OZ (Ofloxacin & Ornidazole Tablets)- Rantac 150Could you suggest if I should continue with these medicines or if theres anything else I should try? Also, is this a serious condition, and is there something I can do to speed up healing?
