No Help From Keflex Capsules And Mupirocin Ointment For Sore Inside Left Nostril. Any Suggestions?

I have had this sore inside of my left nostril that will not go away for about a month. The doctor gave me Keflex 500 mg. I take 2 capsules twice a day for 10 days. This is the 7th day and Mupirocin Ointment that I was suppose to use twice a day for 3 days. It is not helping so i am doing the cream daily 3 times a day. Am I just not being patience enough.
