I have a bartholomew cyst. dr gave 500 mg amoxicillin 4x a day 10 days to help w/it but nothing has changed except it looks bigger. what should i do?

May need drainage: If this cyst has become abscessed the will need to be drained if not already draining.Put warm compresses on it to help it drain and got back to a doctor to see if needs to be opened especially if getting bigger.
