Slow boil

I cannot believe that I still have this doggone boil and it hurts like hell! When I did go to the doctor, he said that it wasn't ready to lance and probably wouldn't be untill Monday. Yikes! He did give me antibiotics for the boil and some Vicodin so that I can get some sleep. I am not a believer in old wives tails and  am not superstitious, but this boil has driven me over the edge and I have been reduced to using every hair-brained cure that is offered for relief. I've tried

• membrane of an egg
• egg white
• alcohol
• alcohol and Epsom salt
• slice of tomatoe
• skin of a white potatoe
• piece of pork
• damp tea bag

I've tried them all and the only thing I have to show for it are the ingredients for a good breakfast!
