HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The antibiotic course is normally 7 days at least, it can sometimes be extended if needed.
Since he is only at day 4, it is possible that improvements will continue to occur.
It is possible that he may also need dressings to the area.
He may need to revisit his doctor to find out if this is necessary.
I hope this helps
