How long do I have to wait between Hyaluronidase treatments and how much per visit for rare Voluma infection/reaction?

Greyeyes4848
Received 1cc Voluma total to the cheek area 3 weeks ago and within days I noticed something wasnt right. Dr believes I have all the symptoms of a very rare Voluma reaction due to hypersensitive immune response to foreign body causing inflammed hard nodule (likely infected but extraction was not able to draw liquid/pus), possible biofilm and infection. Augmentin/Clarithromycin 500mg 2x daily.Hylenex 50units ea cheek spaced 7 days apart is the plan. Is this enough Hylenex/frequency?Anything else?
