Is it tender to the touch? Is it hot? Is it red?
im trying to figure out if the lump is a cyst, nodule, or some sort of infection that is contained within the lump or if it is or if it is a swollen lymph node sometimes I get lumps that are actually lymph nodes
from the way you explained it, it doesn’t sound like a lymph node but I wanted to be sure
if it is a cyst or nodule with the infection contained within it some things that could help are using a
tea bag green tea or black tea as a hot compress
I have used them on abscesses with really good results
manuca honey: this stuff is miraculous it has infection clearing properties its expensive though but raw honey also is good but not as powerful as manuca honey
betadine that brown stuff you see them wipe people down with before surgery on tv
it really will zap an infection if you soak a Cotten ball and cover the area with the betadine it’s cheap too
you have the right idea with the heat
if you can stand it taking
oregano oil and putting a few drops under your tongue is a good systemic antibiotic and will clear any infection from the inside out
you could also take an Advil to use as a full body anti inflammatory and it would be good to see if you have a fever if you do alternating Tylenol with Advil every 6-8 hours until the fever and swelling goes away would be good
hope this gets better soon!
