Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , how many days, you are having this lump?
You mentioned in query that it is in the head and taking 6 tablets for pain , that too after 3 hours.
History is very confusing.
In my opinion at once consult a Neurosurgeon and get his opinion and treatment.
Hope , you will understand the gravity of situation.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
