My cartilage piercing is infected, 2 months ago I was prescribed amoxicillin and it did not help. After 1 month the infection started worsening and the bump has grown drastically. Today I was prescribed Keflex and after the appointment I searched the antibiotic and I saw online resources claim it is not the recommended medication either. It seems Ciprofloxacin is recommended? I am not sure whether I should take the Keflex or go to another clinic to get a 3rd prescription instead.

Better take homoeopathic medicine Myristica 30 TDs for one day. Works better than antibiotics in suppuration. It is better to consult.
