Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it seems to be infection. But it than must be cured with the flucloxacillin.

I advice you should do FNA biopsy, culture and sensitivity from the swollen lymph nodes.

This will guide us regarding possible pathology and treatment accordingly.

Please maintain good local hygiene.

Also avoid sexual intercourse during the period. Possible cause of sexual exposure should also not neglected. Wearing a condom while sexual exposure can prevent cross infection.

Please wear cotton undergarments. This will help preventing infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
