You have a severe infection. Fever, infected wound site, redness and the fact that it is spreading up the neck is not good. With the anti biotics you have had, you should be feeling better, not worse. Get to an emergency room and I'd think about switching doctors.

You need to call your physician immediately. There is no home remedy available for you and your condition is extreme. Please don't delay.

I'm so sorry! Get well soon.
