Hi,
The description you have given is suggestive of an infected wound.
You have to consult a general physician at the earliest and start on antibiotics preferably Amoxclav.
Nothing much to worry as it will respond well to proper antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
