Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Kindly get antibiotic treatment for that. Because you say it swells. And why will it swell as such? Kindly take the full course of antibiotics from any local doctor prescription. Or better get an intravenous antibiotic only. Kindly dress it up and rest it for some time to heal. If the infection spreads you will suffer more. Kindly do the needful.
Hope this information helps you sort out your problems. If you feel its helpful kindly give me user thanks vote.
Happy health!
Regards,
Dr. Archana
