General & Family Physician 's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
What is the age of ur child? Have u used antibiotics!? Is he having fever.? Have u visited doctor!
Based upon your history it appears to be a abscess but again it should be seen by your doctor so that proper treatment can be initiated in time...
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen drops to relieve pain and fever.
Regards
