Hello,
You need to take an injection tetanus toxoid (TT) in case you haven't had within the past six months. Then you need to take a course of antibiotic like tablet Amoxiclav thrice a day for five days, pain killers for five days. Do not go for procedures where aseptic precautions are not followed. If you follow all these pain may come down within a week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sanjay Kini
