Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The lump that you have mentioned in your question appears to be an infection and will have to be taken care of properly by antibiotics. In presence of antibiotic if the lump has appeared then probably the antibiotic you are presently on may not be effective against the organisms causing infection. Cough can be due to general inflamatory reaction. Get the lump examined and send the secretions for culture and sensitivity to identify the correct antibiotic.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to further details about your query, you can use the below mentioned link:
