Detailed Answer:
Hi Piubose27 ,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Bartholin's cyst with severe pain&inflammation indicates secondary infection .Thats why the doctor has given the antibiotic with anti inflammatory drugs.
3days of medicine has given reduction in its size..that indicates medicines are acting.
- I feel you should continue with the medication at least for 5days...by the time the pain will considerably reduce&size will also decrease ...in such case you should complete the course&see your doctor for further advise...The infection may be controlled&cyst comes to normal size.
-But in case the pain persists,gets throbbing and unbearable-&the swelling turns in abscess(can be fluctuated ) you would need incision &drainage ,a surgical procedure. Your doctor would decide it after examining the cyst.
*So at present you should follow doctor's advise& medicines. If pain in unbearable..you can go to doctor for some injectable pain medicine &addition of Metranidozole in prescription. OR miner surgery as per need.
I hope you get my point. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
