Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I do understand your pain and discomfort
As per your clinical history is concerned you are taking right medication for secondary infection but primary infection is a virus and that lump is a lymph node. So I request you to discuss with your treating doctor to add a prednisone orally.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best for a quick recovery
Thanks
