question: had some type of an insect bite on my elbow.  An infection occured which I went to the Dr. and they put me on an antibiotic for 10 days.  It has been 8 days and it is no longer red and hot but the elbow still hurts and there is still some swelling.  Should I go back to the Dr. or will it just take time? The Dr concerned me because they said on the elbow, it would be easy for the infection to go into the bone.
