Recently my husband found out that there's a lump on the left side of neck,he feels sharp pain on and off .. We went to our family clinic and he prescribe the antibotics for him , the doctor say that the cause of lump should be cause by infection so this few weeks he eaten the medicine and the lumps really gone down but after 1 weeks later it came back again... Can anyone tell me what can we do to make the lumps disappered....

If the lump responded to antibiotics, then it was probably a swollen lymph node. Its possible that the antibiotics didn't kill all of the infection. Its a very good idea to call the doctor back and let them know what happened. If the infection is still there, its risky to let it go untreated since it is could be a form that is resistant to certain antibiotics.
Its also possible that the lump is not a swollen lymph node, and the doc needs to look for some other cause.
