Hello
Thanks for the query.
Ampicillin and cloxacillin is an antibiotic combination and will be helpful in carbuncle.
However you have already taken a course of antibiotic hence it is better if you can meet a doctor and discuss regarding this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thanks
I find this answer helpful
