I have a softball sized lump now on my bottom. I've been taking 3 ibuprofen to manage the pain until the bactrum kicks in. In the meantime, are there any methods that do not include warm compresses to help pain?
Hi, that sounds horrendous. I wish I could offer you some practical advice but the only thing I can offer is that I've always found paracetamol a better analgesic that ibuprofen. You might want to give it a try, but it may just be that it's what works better for me. Are you putting anything directly on it to help, creams etc?
Hi you need ab's as this sounds like an abcess.
What is ab's?
Antibiotics
