Hello,
Usually, enterococcus does respond to chloramphenicol if it's not responding, then it's better I would have suggested you get a culture and sensitivity done after taking a biopsy from that part and depending on the sensitivity report I would have prescribed you with the appropriate drug which will cure your infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
