lanced boil thats draining not painful just tender why is it hard

I had a boil on my bott first one ever had to get it lanced at the hospital. On Saturday today is Tuesday. It’s draining slowly but it’s not painful anymore it’s just tender but there is a hard buildup that feels like golf ball where the boil was. What could it be? I’m on two different antibiotics and pain meds. I soak with epson salt every night. Nothing is helping!!! Please help

Ugh, that sounds miserable.  I'm sorry sweetie.  If it is unbearable, can you call your regular doctor?
