Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
Most probably it is due to local inflammation or infection. You can empirically start a short course of antibiotics after discussing with your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
