What Causes Persistent Cuticle Infection Despite Taking Amoxicillin?

I was prescribed amoxicillin for a cuticle infection, after trying bacitracin and triple antibiotic topical creams. I have taken the entire prescription, but the condition has not been cured. The antibiotic pills made me sick for four days, but I did not alter the dosage. I finished the prescription Monday. Is there a stronger topical cream I can try?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with persistent cuticle following a prescribed amoxicillin bacitracin I am suggesting you have developed a bacteria resistant infection

In view of this please do a wound culture to confirm the organism that is sensitive to drugs

Meanwhile please take any of the following pending the outcome of the result : Tablet ceporex zinnat Augmentin topical bactroban cream

I hope this helps Regards
