HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, without any indication of antibiotic taking antibiotic is not good neither you suppose to take this without clinical diagnosis and in case of infection steroid is highly contra indicated, your symptoms must not be due to infection but this could be normal appearance without any disease, if does not have any clinical symptoms in obvious, hope this information helps, take care
