Infection: I would give them more time to work unless you see red steaks or extreme pain with swelling. You should be seen 1 week after being on them.

Infected toe: Yes you need to see a podiatrist. Antibiotics do not cure all problems.

Something sounds : Strange about your scenerio. Commonly, one would be placed on one antibiotic. I would be curious why two and which ones? Was a culture preformed and results returned? Was there any discharge? What's causing the infection? Do you have an ingrown toenail? Any comorbidites? Generally, after 3-5 days should see some improvement.., .
