Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. He may have some cystic lesion with abscess formation or it can be soft tissue tumor like sarcoma or other mass. If it is blood and pus filled then you should go for incision and drainage of that lump. Go for cytological examination of that pus. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Till that you can take broad spectrum antibiotics like cefadroxil or amoxiclav. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
