Greetings.
Yes, This antibiotic is good enough. As a matter of fact; the lancing is done in a sterile fashion and chance of infection is almost zero. Still an antibiotic is given to be on the highly cautionary side. So, please do not worry at all.
Please feel free for your follow up questions.

Hello,
That is inflammation of the lymphatics which goes from finger up to the arm pit. Once the swelling is lanced and has been drained of the fluid, this will get better in around 48-72 hours. Avoid hanging down of the arm. This will drain the lymphatics fast and improve the symptoms. A paracetamol (Tylenol) can be taken if the pain is significant.
It is pleasure and privilege assisting you.
You are most welcome.
Best wishes and kindest regards.
