Hi. If the redness, pain, swelling, discharge and local warmth is gone and its dry with good scab, probably its healing and you need not worry about anything. however, if any one the above mentioned features are there, its a sign of worry and you might need to continue same antibiotic or switch to another antibiotic. Hope it answers your queries
