Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain When Suffering From Bartholin Cyst
Hi, I m on holiday in the US at the moment and have an extremely painful Bartholin cyst (also had this previously). I ve had it for nearly 3 days now and the pain is unbearable I cannot walk at all. I ve been prescribed bactrim ds by a doctor here but it hasn t popped yet and I need to know how long it will be until it does as the pain is really upsetting me and ruining my holiday. I don t believe my travel insurance would cover another trip to the doctors or drainage. Please help

Hello,
I recommend continuing using antibiotics. For the pain, you can use Ibuprofen three times a day. I also suggest soaking in warm water for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
