HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the infection then it needs to be treated with antibiotic but more important is to know the nature of infection some time it could be surgical condition, at the most it can be managed on tentative basis with "Tab Cefdinir 300 mg" twice in day, and "Tab Fexofenadine 120 mg" once in day (Clinical examination is must prior to initiate treatment) hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
