The answer is--just about anything. It's all out there to be gotten. Truthfully, antibiotics can cause drowsiness, as well as the natural tendency of the body to rest to heal. Lot of advice in this line depends on his age and general state of health.
One thing I would suggest, if the infection is not significantly reduced within four or five days--get your physician to culture the bacteria. Since the commonest treatment for open wounds is a wide-spectrum antibiotic, and since not all bacteria are equally responsive to all antibiotics, if the infection hangs on, the only way to be sure you've got the right one is to run a culture on the thing, and find the specific antibiotic most likely to kill it.
