Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There might be minor abrasion or cuts, which lead to inflammation and gave rise to symptoms. Nothing much to worry as it can be easily managed. You can apply topical antibiotic ointment, like Mupirocin over the region. Oral antibiotics, like Amoxicillin/Clavulanate combination has to be taken. In case of pain, you can take analgesics, like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac.
Wishing you good health.
