Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having inflammation of the soft tissue.
I would advise that can take anti inflammatory like ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with an antacid.
You should continue applying the ointment and keep the area open.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
