Local university: Looks like a very challenging and complicated case. Would suggest that you go to an university medical center close to home to get help. This is not for amateurs.

Ceftriaxone is sometimes used for the treatment of Actinomyosis. There is still swelling but is the patient otherwise improving? Was any surgical intervention recommended? Agree with earlier recommendations to seek university hospital assessment.
