Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Elbow

I banged my elbow at work it swelled up and was really swishy after a week I went to a and e and they told me just to rest it! A day later it was more painful more red and bigger so I went back they gave me antibiotics, 500mg of fulxicilian 4 times a day. I ve finished my corse. My elbow is no smaller and now it s gone hard and is stil red and my skin is peeling off around it! Although the pain is hardly their apart from every now and then, do I go back to a and e or my doctor?
