Swelling And Muscle Pain In Buttock. Uncomfortable To Walk And Sit. Looking For Relief

Thanks for writing to us.
A painful firm mass in pelvic area with throbbing suggests an abscess. The pelvic area is highly prone to development of abscess due to XXXXXXX bacterial flora.
Here are my suggestions for you.
1 XXXXXXX a General physician and Start taking an antibiotic. You would need a combination of amoxicillin-clavulanate and metronidazole. Also, if the pain is too much, you can take Tablet Disprin 1 tablet dissolved in water after food.
2.Dont try to puncture it now, drainage should be done only when the pus points at a particular point. Warm compresses will help pus to drain. The drainage should preferably be done by a general surgeon.
3.Apply ointment mupirocin daily twice in that area to prevent further spread of infection.
Please see a physician for a prescription.
Let me know if you have any more questions
Wishing you a good health.
Thank you
