Nail Infection

Asked for Male, 46 Years

I'm suffering with Right hand thumb nail infection from 8 days onwards. Now it has been curing slowly. Pus has been formed near nail area and 85% came out but little Pus hold near nail area which is not coming out. I was used Agumed 625 Antibiotic tablets for 6 days twic per day. Now do I still need to continue Antibiotic Tablets? Because doctor suggested 6 days only. But it seems nail infection not cured completely so shall I continue Antibiotic Tablets?
