Hi,

It could be superficial bacterial infection along with lymph node enlargement. As you are going to consult your doctor tomorrow, you can take a dose of pain killer tablet. (Make sure that you are not allergic to that particular pain killer).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
