See a doctor for boils on the face, around the eye or near the spine. Boils usually heal in a couple of weeks. If it isn't healing on its own by the first week, it's time to see the doctor. I recommend calling the doc to make an appointment if your boil hasn't started draining after 7 days. One boil that heals all by itself isn't really a big problem.
However, the swelling may be minimized by the immediate use of ice packs. Two baggies filled with ice, or ice packs should be applied to the sides of the face where surgery was performed. The ice packs should be left on for 20 minutes (then off for 20 minutes) while you are awake. After 36 hours, ice has no beneficial effect. If swelling or jaw stiffness has persisted for several days, there is no cause for alarm. This is a normal reaction to surgery. Thirty-six hours following surgery, the application of moist heat to the sides of the face is beneficial in reducing the size of the swelling.
