Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
I hope I have answered your query.
This may be a progression of infection and you need to see doctor again and have antibiotics intravenously if you ask me. this should not be neglected since this may lead to serious consequances. Also, i think that along with cipro, you should have metronidazol or clindamycin as antibiotic treatment to cover both aerobes and anaerobes.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
