Isaiah said, “Bring a cake of figs. And let them take and lay it on the boil, that he may recover.”
2 Kings 20:7
Why figs? It looks like medical intervention and Isaiah even attributes the healing to the figs. Isaiah's prophecies were sometimes of a very practical nature, and God often responds to our foolishness by ensuring that we suffer the natural consequences without divine rescue.
Figs are symbolic of fruitfulness, which Hezekiah had not been. He did not have an heir yet, which threatened the entire lineage of David because the previous generation had been wiped out by wicked people.
The flowers are on the inside of the fruit. Tiny fig wasps enter the fruit to lay eggs and often die inside the fruit. Their bodies are dissolved by enzymes in the fruit, but this is a picture of how fruitfulness often requires conflict, uncleanness, and interaction with things that appear to be forbidden.
“Now, O YHWH, please remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
2 Kings 20:3
Appealing to God's inherent nature is the surest path to healing.

The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. We cannot comprehend what we refuse to see. #proverbs 1:7
What does it mean to fear YHWH? Hint: It doesn't mean that he's waiting to smite you for any mistake.

And [Prince Joash] remained with her six years, hidden in the house of the LORD, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
2 Kings 11:3
A woman and the crown prince hid in the Temple for six years! This was the only place in the kingdom that even Athaliah feared to go. Her reign was tenuous. If she violated the sanctuary of the Temple, she might have faced a general rebellion. Tyrants should always be terrified to interfere in God's affairs.
