Doctor prescribed antibiotics which did reduce it a little. DR say's it's nothing but just keep an eye on it. I'm not sure.

If it was nothing then why give such a young infant antibiotics. As far as I am aware most doctors only give them as a last resort.
Get it checked, I'd have thought a cyst but not if is reducing in size, keep an eye for any other changes such as mood/tiredness, fluid intake etc.
Hope she's ok, I know this is a worrying time when they are so little

if it hasn't reduced dramatically ask for more antibiotics. If it still hasn't gone, demand tests. I hate to scare you but this is how it started when our 18 mth old got cancer. It started with a lump, two courses of antibiotics, x-rays etc then a trip to a specialist unit, only to be told a week later. Don't be complacent. Demand treatment or explanation. This is your child your talking about!

When I was a baby I developed a cyst on my eye - the doctors waited until I was 3 years old before taking action - glad to say that apart from a small scar there were no further problems.
Ask your doctor to refer to you to a paediatrician and get this checked out.
Meanwhile don't worry.

I think it's better for you to look for pediatric oncologist and request some MRI or CT scan or other sort of advanced diagnostic. you have to do it now!
I got a friend whose baby was only 6 mos was found a lump in her body. later they brought the baby to hospital doing some MRI scan and found out it was a "liver cancer 4th stage!".
sorry this must hurt but i gotta tell you what i know.
i don't mean your baby must has it too. it may not be anything serious at all! so don't worry! just bring her to hospital and find out the truth so that you can breathe.
p.s. my friend's case was one in a million! very rare! (what doc said).
so you don't worry too much
hope your baby is just fine.
God Bless

Get a second opinion, something is not quite right. Don't rely on one gp's opinion, if he's only given antibiotics, and no proper diagnosis, I wouldn't leave it at that. Hope your baby recovers soon.

If you are not happy with what he said I would DEFINITELY get a second opinion. My daughter's boobs were swollen and the dr said it was perfectly normal and it went away after a couple of weeks.

Get her into a hospital. I have a lump and have had it for years. It's not dangerous but I had to have scans, blood tests and tissue samples taken to make sure it wasn't serious. Hope she gets better

I would request a referral to a pediatric oncologist and also request, if it has not yet been done, an MRI or CT or some other sort of advanced diagnostic. May God bless and keep you and your precious daugther.

Im not sure really . maybe her rib is pushed up to far. If your docter says its ok and just keep and eye on it. Then do so. It will go away soon. Same thing happened to me.
