though the lump in my breast decrease on antibiotics it is still tender could it be cancer
hello let me assure you that there are no cancers which come suddenly and settles with antibiotics one breast cancer which progresses over a few period is inflammatory carcinoma of the breast but it does not come in days and settle with antibiotics you have a breast abscess that settled with antibiotics and some times a part of it gets walled with fibrous tissue were antibiotics do not reach it is called antibioma I would suggest you take linezolid 600 my twice a day as there are chances of resistance to flucloxacillin
hello doctor I am a 25 year old female my mi is I am a non smoker with no ongoing conditions like diabetes I am not breastfeeding and have never been pregnant I developed mastitis very suddenly about three weeks ago by that evening I was in a and with a lump the size of an egg in one breast I was prescribed codamol and 500 my flucloxacillin a day after the first course which was 10 days I saw the doctor again as the lump had reduced to the size of a large grape but was still painful I often had fevers and I felt unwell doctor put me on another seven day course of flucloxacillin and booked a breast cancer screening I just finished my second course and I am still in pain with lump still the size of a small grape and still feel ill and feel like I am getting worse again breast is back to being red and swollen my only option to see a medical professional before my breast screening is to wait for several hours at an urgent care clinic after work should I try and get more antibiotics if so should I insist on getting a different kind also please be honest I know there is a chance it could be ibn but as a young healthy childless woman is it actually likely that I should prepare for bad news or not
