Suggest Treatment For Cyst In Sterum

My friend David who will be 70 yrs old and is heart patient with stent - had a larger than 50 piece cyst on his sterum middle of chest. Of course he let it go tell inflamed red and some infection in center. When he went to doctor - put him on sulfa type antibiotic but I saw yesterday and no change. I am concerned because of the infection and its location near heart and lungs. What should his next step be? thanks Aggie

Thanks for the query to HCM.
I went through all the details of your query.
on the details given by your query,In my opinion you suffer mostly from-
on the facts there in-mostly you suffer from-Chronic infected boil on the chest.
Treatment I would suggest is as follows-
a-Tb NASAIDs
b-Antibiotics -like Ofloxacin with ornidazole-as it has not responded to sulpha
c-Cold compresses
d-Get his FBS and PPS -as he is old with non responding infective lump on chest.
-consult ER doctor for the script of drugs.
Hope this would resolve your query.
