I had a series of boils as a teen my d.r. said soak a wash cloth in hot water with epsom salts mixed in it wring it out and place on the boil for 15 minutes when the cloth starts cooling off wring it out in the water again do this several times a day.This will help it open and drain.If it is above the mouth then you should see a d.r it is dangerous.

A hot compress. You may need to see a doctor. When I have an infection thaqt results in boils, I take golden seal tea. It's like an antibiotic. A doctor is best though. If it's in the lower portion of your body, sit in a hot tub. Not interested in any of that? Try Boil Ease.

What kind of boil? If skin boil depending where it's at. You can grade up a potato and put it in a bandage and put the bandage on the boil over night and the next morning it should be busted.

Avoiding sugar will help. Boils seems to happen when our diets consist of too much sugars in the diet.
Warm compresses and warm baths will help.

You need an antibiotic drawing salve, available at any drug store. In addition to painful, boils are highly infectious and your work may have proscriptions against work with an active boil. See a doctor, because it might be ready for lancing.
Good Luck!
