Suggest Remedy For Infection In Finger

I recently discovered i have an infected finger ( not by doctors diagnosis, but because ive had it before and its the same thing again ) i was given a cream last time that i was to apply every now and then during the day I dont want to go back to the doctor because its expensive, my finger is red and swollen and i knew there was puss in there so i made a small incision and pushed all the green puss out.is there anything else i can do? im soaking it in diluted Dettol, using Betedine and Savlon antiseptic cream on it Should i go to the chemist and ask for a stronger antiseptic cream maybe?

Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you doing such a incision at home is not advice. Doctors usually do all such procedure under strict aseptic precaution, usually people can't do this thing at home. But never mind looking forward you should start with oral antibiotics like cefixime, analgesic Aceclofenac, pantakind antiacidity agent to take. Also apply a previously given antibiotic local cream. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
