Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You did not write from how long you have been suffering from this. Is this acute or chronic? However, apply Hydrocortisone cream locally or Calamine lotion for relieve. I suggest you take Paracetamol tablet for relieve of your headache, vitamins B and C tablets. But the swelling that it is causing is of concern. The infection seems to have spread in the lymphatic systems and hence you are having headache, you may get febrile. It can be an allergic reaction to some medicines you might be taking, stop all addictions and take care of your hygiene. Visit ER before infection worsens. You can take allergy test & CBC. Your treatment will depend upon the investigation reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
