Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should start taking antibiotics like cefixime. For pain and healing you can take tab diclofenac and paracetamol with serratopeptidase.

Please take good care of wound as cleaning and dressing by maintaining good hygiene.

You can also apply powder neosporin over the wound.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
