antibiotic induced swelling....'oma' = tumour (swelling)
eg: breast
when an abscess occur in the breast and antibiotic was given, without even draining the abscess, the abscess cavity next will become fibrous and it result in firm to large lump in the breast.
this hard lump can be confused for malignancy.

It will require exploration and evacuation of the antibioma
antibioma
antibioma is a pathological condion induced due to antibiotics in relation to pus cells. it is due to the fact that a solid wall is formed outside the territorrt of inflammation due to heavy antibiotics. which in turn is called as antibioma. As such there is no relation related to it to cancer but research is going on and on...
actually it is due to treating swelling in mouth by antibiotics only.such conditions occur due to dental abscess where antibiotics given without incision and drainage or root canal treatment.
giving height dose of antibiotic to a patient have chronic abscess with swelling
This is my experience with treating antibioma. i usually start with a steroid and analgesics without any antibiotic for 2-3 days. then drain or expose the area. later treat with supporting antibiotics after culture and sensitivity
A urologist. You need to have a diagnosis ASAP. The lump may be caused by epididymitis. Since antibiotics cannot let it go away, maybe you can try a herbal medicine named diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill. Good luck to you.
No they do not.
