Brief Answer:
to treat the infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I suppose you had a collection of pus, although you haven't provided many details. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is one of the commonly used regimens for these cases. It fights the bacteria and prevents recurrences.
Hydrocodone-acetaminophen is a painkiller.

Kind Regards!
