Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at Chat Doctor. If I were your treating doctor I would have advised you a course of oral antibiotics for a week (penicillin group e.g. Amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid). I would also like to send a specimen from discharge for culture and antibiotic sensitivity, that would guide future antibacterial therapy, if needed. Topical antibacterial ointment like mupirocin twice daily. Daily cleansing the wound with an antibacterial like Betadine solution with help heal it faster. Take care regards
