What causes lump even after taking medication?
Patient: I had celluitis on my jaw neck area a week ago it was swollen red and a big bump ER took a cat scan and said there was no puss or blood 3 days later it started draining but lump is still there im taking antibiotics theres no pain now the hole closed and i still have this lump what could be going on Doctor: hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation and checkup.. it is possibly resolving and what you are feeling as a lump could be the healing/fibrotic tissue on the inside. complete your antibiotic regimen even if you're afebrile and not feeling the pain anymore. maintain a good hygiene and keep the area clean and dry as well.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
