HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If no infection was present then even the topical antibiotics would not have prescribed unless it was given to prevent infection from occurring.
By prescribing them , your doctor is indicating that there may be a chance of infection.
If there is increasing pain and swelling then it is likely that they are infected and oral antibiotics are needed.
You may want to revisit your doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
