You can buy neopsorin over the counter which is an antibiotic ointment. Your best bet though would be to see the doc so he can culture the drainage and prescribe the proper antibiotic for it.

Hey, that's possibly a serious infection. When people get infections in the hand, they can possibly spread and cause more, deeper infection. You want to make sure the correct antibiotic is chosen. You need to go to a doctor, find a way. If you choose the wrong antibiotic, you could make things worse. Without seeing it, no one can diagnose you, and possibly it's not 'severe' enough to need oral antibiotics, but, I still think you should go, just in case, Could actually save you money down the road.

You can buy Neopsporin or a poloysporin oinitment over the counter. How much swelling are you having? The pus isn't a good sign either. You may need to see your M.D. and get antibiotics by mouth if it gets worse. Don't let it get too bad or you may end up in the hospital with cellulitis.

no, you have to have it prescribed by a doctor. see your local pharmacist, and they will advise if you need antibiotics, or just go to the doc.

Go to a farm store and buy some horse medicine. Take it in smaller doses. I'm not responsible for your actions.
