Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be a deep wound or if you think the bone is injured or fractured then you must get an X-ray to rule it out. Along with Amoxicillin you will also need to dress up the wound to avoid further infection and damage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
