Brief Answer:
Change antibiotic / Second opinion
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
With the history you have provided, I would suggest you the following:
Change of the antibiotic.
A good anti-inflammatory medicine.
Apply Liquid Povidone iodine locally.
Take another opinion to see for / rule out an abscess inside; if it is so you need an incision and drainage.
This helps all my patients and should help you too.
It took so ling as there was no escape of fluid / infected secretions; like it might have become a closed cavity infection. This happens easily in penis as the under-surface of the skin is a very potential space.
I hope this helps you to come out of your problem at the earliest.
you might have posted a picture if it is possible for you.
