Hello,
thanks for posting your query,
Well it is quite obvious that you have an abscess that will require drainage with prescription of antibiotics which can be effective against staph and strep as they are the most likely bacteria that can lead to an abscess. Since the abscess is painful, you will also require use of antiinflammatory pain killers.
A health care provider will be able to remedy this situation ones you pay a visit to a nearby clinic.
Hope this helps and wish you the best
