General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, Allen,
Thanks for query,
it seems that you might have got formed abscess i,e. pus is formed so antibiotic does not work.
Get your part examined by doctor whether abscess is formed or not.
If there is an abscess then you have to go for removal of pus and dressing.
Ok and bye.
I find this answer helpful
