Suggest Treatment For Bump On Chin

Hi. I had a bump form on my chin 2 days ago. Hurt so bad I had to try and pop it. Wasn t ready but it felt as if it was on the nerve. My whole chin was swollen and my friend popped it and said whit pus came out and have been treating it since yesterday. Looked like a bite but she said a boil. Now my tonsils are swollen especially the right one. What could this be?

Hi,
Looking to the history it seems that there is skin infection producing boil and cellulitis on the chin.
There might be having acute tonsillitis as well.
Go for one antibiotic like Azithromicin 500 mg once a day for 3-5 days.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine for 2-3 days as well.
Ok and take care.
