No offense but it sounds like he needs more than just help for an infection. If he is using cocaine, he needs help now. I have worked as an A&D Counselor for years and it seems that you might be enabling him if you are looking for an antibiotic.

Yeah, get him to a hospital, if you need to ask here which IV antibiotic to use, you’re not qualified to give it. Get your son the medical attention he needs.

It sounds to me like your son might have cellulitis in his hand. He needs to go to a doctor and get an antibiotic, usually something like Cipro or Bactrim, and then you need to take him to a treatment facility where he will get treated for his drug addiction. You can’t do it alone, he needs help now!

You asked what antibiotic “Would” be used. This deserves an answer. If the infection is spreading beyond the injection site and/or he is a fever, intravenous antibiotics will probably be needed. If the infection is localised broad spectrum antibiotic such as Augmentin would probably be effective (NB Avoid if Penicillin allergic.
