Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per my clinical experience, you need surgical opinion as the antibiotics are not showing up response. You may need regular dressing, debridement or other mode of management as per the decision of the surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
