Question

I've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
