How Long Will It Take To Get Rid Of A Bartholin Cyst?

I've had a bartholin cyst since Monday, it is quite uncomfortable to walk and sit. I have been on antibiotics since Tuesday. I've been doing sitz baths with epson salt and started warm compresses as of today. How long does it take for it to go away? I have vacation planned for next week. I am also being treated for strep throat as well. Fever since Monday, not sure if its related tot he strep throat or the cyst.
