Answer
I have not examined you or the patient in question, reviewed the medical record, associated laboratory studies, or imaging. What follows is offered to you for information purposes, only and does not constitute treatment.  I advise an examination from a qualified healthcare professional before undertaking any course of treatment.
Complete the course of antibiotics and follow-up with the physician.  A persistent painless lump should eventually be biopsied.
