Brief Answer:
Oral and topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I'd suggest you take an oral antibiotic e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for a week. Oral antibiotics are prescription medications. In addition, I suggest you use a topical antibiotic e.g Mupirocin ointment or Neosporin ointment, twice daily for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query.
