HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It must be difficult for her to be in so much pain consistently.
The doctor may need to rule out an abscess in the area, this is a small collection of pus. If this is present, it would need to be incised for healing to occur.
If there is no abscess, then treatment would involve : (a) improving generalized health by rest, using multivitamin supplement and controlling any other illnesses such as diabetes
(b)applying warm compress to the area, this would also help with pain
(c)a swab may need to be taken to make sure the correct antibiotic is being used
(d)cleaning with an antiseptic soap or cleanser . Anti septic soaps can also be applied to other areas of the body as well
(e)applying topical antibiotic and using an oral antibiotic as well
(f) anti inflammatory pain killers would help with the discomfort eg ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen
I hope this helps
