I'm not knowledgeable in that area at all, but it sounds like your question is about healing infections.
If that's the case you can look into alternative methods that can be safely used along with your antibiotics. Most can be used in conjunction with prescriptions, but you can talk to your doctor about it first and look online for interactions between prescriptions and natural methods.
The benefit of the natural methods is that it gets your body in better shape to fight the infection, as opposed to relying solely on the medicine to do the work. There are also supplements that work to kill bacteria directly like antibiotics though, so it's not always about your body doing the work.
One of the most important I'd mention is probiotics, or beneficial bacteria. Antibiotics destroy all of the bacteria in your body including the good bacteria that helps you digest/assimilate food, keeps your immune system strong, and keep bad bacteria in check. If you don't replenish them it's easier for bad bacteria to come back causing relapses of infections. It seems most doctors don't mention this unless asked for some reason, but most would probably agree that it should be done after antibiotics. Some might recommend Yogurt, but it's not necessarily proven to be able to replenish intestinal flora, so a supplement might be best. Do your research though, because after processing, bottling, etc. many products don't contain the strength they claim to. It also has to be enteric coated or protected in some way so as to make it past your gastric acids. So definitely do that after your round of antibiotics.
Other things you might be able to add to your infection fighting arsenal are Garlic, Oregano Oil, Colloidal Silver, Vitamin C, Zinc (don't go above 50mg's a day, at least not for long), Echinacea, Elderberry, Olive Leaf, Astragalus, etc. They should all be okay to be taken along with antibiotics but search the web for interaction sites and talk to your doctor. A naturopath or knowledgeable health store owner might be able to tell you which ones and combinations are best for your purpose, as well as searching online. Perhaps you'll find people that have had the same problem and will be better able to give you specific recommendations.
Lastly it seems like you may have the ability to use some things topically. If you already are, again talk to your doctor about interactions if he says it's okay to try alternative topical measures. Garlic and Oregano Oil can be used topically, but would probably burn. Colloidal Silver also can, and shouldn't burn. Plain (otherwise it has sugar) yogurt is good for infections. There are others, but with open wounds I'm not really sure which would be best or even safe. You'd have to do some research on those possibilities.
