Suggest Remedy For Infection In Leg

I started sulfamethoxazole 800 -160 tabs Sunday evening for a infection on my leg. Prescribed by a Dr in a medical clinic. He also told me if the infection starts to spread I should go to the emergency room for a antibiotic drip. I don t see much improvement today. There is a few more spots off the main infection. Should I wait for this antibiotic or seek help again.
