asked

I have a bad infection on my lower abdomen with a staph aureus boil that I lanced and drained on Monday. The infection has spread to a diameter of 2.5 to 3 inches, is red, very painful, and edema is developing above the infection. The pain is constant, ache-like with occasional sharp sensations, and there is no fever. I also had an appendectomy in 2011. Should I go to the ER immediately or can I wait until tomorrow morning if I don't develop a fever?
