HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If the infection is fungal, it is possible that he may need to take an oral anti fungal medication.

In some types of fungal infections, there is no response to topical medication (creams and ointment), oral medication is needed.
This may be the case for him.

A bacterial infection can sometimes go along with a fungal, so if this has occurred, treatment for this would also be needed.

Anti inflammatory pain medication may help with the pain eg naproxen, cataflam, ibuprofen.

He should go back to his doctor, or another doctor for review.

I hope this helps
