What is the best protocol for granuloma treatment post Volbella filler?

ckrug002
I received 1.5mL of Vobella injected into my lips. 5 months later I noticed a lump in my lower lip.Within a month time I had several nodules on both my upper and lower lips with my lower lip feeling firm to the touch. I was given a Medrol dose pack. The symptoms lessened while on the pack but soon returned after completion. I was informed the next line of treatment is 5fu+Kenalog+lidocaine. Is this the appropriate next step? What are the side effects? Do Granulomas resolve on their own with time
