Infected cyst?: This is the third time you have asked the same question. Glad to learn you have seen a doctor. Of course you should follow his or her advice: take the antibiotic as prescribed. Beyond that, this forum cannot help any more than it has already. You should ask your doctor if you have any further questions about it.
