Hi,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
From your description,it is clear that you have got an infected wound.It needs incision and drainage to remove all the pus,followed by antibiotics and analgesics,and proper wound care.
You also must take a tetanus toxoid injection if you had not one recently.
You please see your doctor as early as possible,as any delay will make condition more worse.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
