Use of antibiotics depends on condition of wound.. but still its better to get grafting if it's already been 6 months but in case you have shortage of money .. get dressing every 2-3 days and wait it will take time. Antibiotics will be required only if active infection noticed by doctor during followup

Kindly stop ur antibiotic course.
As it is long duration
May be u r already developed resistance to those antibiotics.
As the wound is still not in a healing condition.
U r advised to consult plastic surgeon physically to examine the wound, it's vascularity
U may need grafting to cover the wound
Next Steps
immediately consult plastic surgeon

At this point you may have developed resistance to this medication. And the wound looks like it’s covered by granulation tissue. Since it’s been 6months you’ll need a plastic surgeon for covering the area with a graft/ flap( decided purely on the basis of the area and vascularity).
Next Steps
Kindly consult your attending doctor for the antibiotics renewal/ further management

Someone is making a lot of money at your cost.
Farowell is a strong antibiotic . It is never used for more than a week or 10 days. If it is not working, the antibiotic should be changed. By taking it for six months you have ensured that if you really develop a serious infection in future the Doctor will have to work hard to find an appropriate antibiotic.
Please stop it now.

Hii
As u mentioned u have been taking antibiotic for 6 months
Well that is way beyond the timeline , we do not prescribe antibiotics for this long as it may lead to resistance and other side effects wich come along with it
Kindely get a thorough physical examination by a general surgeon / plastic surgeon

Ur are been taking antibiotics for a longer duration of time which causes resistance. Maintain hygiene.
Wound care is more important to avoid surgical site infection.
Consult a plastic surgeon for further evaluation n treatment.

Hello Sir,
Antibiotics are not meant to be taken continuously for 6 months, as this can cause resistance and side effects. Your wound now needs proper dressing, care, and monitoring rather than long-term antibiotics, unless advised for a specific infection.
I hope it helps you. For proper management and treatment, you can stay in follow-up with me until this problem is completely resolved. For a free detailed consultation, you can reach me on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine.

Antibiotics shouldn’t be taken for so long it causes antibiotic resistance
Pls stop immediately
Consult a surgeon once more to take a look at your fracture wound
If any infection or pus is still there
Need to do a culture and find put which antibiotic is sensitive and given antibiotic accordingly
