Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Arm

my son is almost 5 and he has a lamp bewtween his neck and shoulder, it was painful at the beginning and now it is not. He spent 5 days in hospital receiving antibiotics with a drip. Doctors seem confused to what it can be....now it seems hard and mobile and it is quite big....

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is the lymph node and most of the time this is the infection in this age group and it needs to be treated accordingly and best medicine would anti-biotic but if this is the pus formation then it needs to be drained surgically, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
