Hi,

Your symptoms can be due to minor skin level infection. Please continue the application of local ointment. Please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for Tab. Amoxicillin and Tab. Clavulanic acid. Please do continue with iron and calcium supplements regularly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar,
