What Antibiotic Is Used To Treat Finger Infection?

I have two infections; each on one finger of both hands. It appears to be a small bump & it fills with a clear liquid with a molasses type consistency. Originally, they both hurt, but now they just fill with the liquid. Sometimes they go away on their own & sometimes I drain them.
