Hello,
From the details provided by you and his symptoms, this can be local infection with abscess formation.
A course of antibiotics is ideal treatment for this.I would recommend to consider a visit to doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get prescription.
Please keep watch on symptoms like fever and spread of inflammation to surrounding area.It's always better to start treatment early in such cases.
If he has significant pain, then oral analgesics can provide relief.
Hope this answers your question.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
