Answer 2

Boils are generally a sign of some sort of staph infection, that's why they go away while taking antibiotics. The person should stay on the antibiotics until the infection is gone. Blood tests will be needed to determine when it is finally gone.

Yes you could possibly have a staff infection. It probally isn't a staff infection but you should see a doctor.
