Hello
Thank for choosing HCM
Your query is appreciated, if the lump is due to infection and it is the abscess formation then it has to be given antibiotic even in suspected case of infection antibiotic being given, so it is better to complete the course of antibiotic and if the lump is still there even after completing the course of antibiotic then you can discus this with your doctor for further management, hope this information helps.
