HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
It could be a new infection or infection at the site of lump removal. You will require an additional course of Antibiotic for that.
But before starting Antibiotics you need a test called Pus culture sensitivity test which will tell which Antibiotic has to be used . Kindly get this test done and revert back to me .
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
