Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Knuckle

I have painful swelling around my left hand knuckle following a rose thorn scratch 3 weeks ago. All raised lesions are now gone following hot water soaks, and tea tree oil treatment, as I was worried about sporotrichosis. I have taken a course of Keflex which did not help.
