Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should also take anti histamines and soothing preparation like Calamine lotion, which decrease the itching and discomfort. Antibiotics are for prevention of secondary infection. If pain persists, use OTC pain killers.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
