Hi, Your history suggest more of an abscess. In our clinic i would advice my patient to 1) To start on antibiotics i.e cefixime, and complete its full course. 2) Pain killer such as acetaminophen can be added. 3) To clean the infected region with antiseptic lotion. 4) If the abscess is big than surgical drainage of pus, combined with medication is highly recommended. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
