I really appreciate your concern, if this is the fungal infection then antibiotic may not work here and one need to have antifungal treatment and best would be "Tab Terbinafine and cream" for the swelling anti-inflammatory can be tried and best would be "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg" three times in day hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
