Take proper local care,wash your face with anti septic soap.
You can apply clindamycin gel.Start complete course of oral antibiotic like amoxy/clavulinic 625 nd nsaid to subside pain and infalmmation.
Pain in throat and right arm is due to infective drainage in the lymph node.
It will subside with this treatment.
Consult your physician for further guidance and medical management.
