Hello,
Most probably it will be an abscess or local infection and it will be the reason for fever. Consult a physician and plan for an ultrasound to make a diagnosis.

Hello,
It could be an abscess or local infection. Consult a physician and plan for an ultrasound scan. If there is pus collection, it has to be drained.
