Suggest Treatment For Pain On My Tailbone

Hello. I m a 20 years old girl. One day more than a week ago I believe I sat too long on a bicycle with a very hard seat and after I started feeling a bit pain on the tailbone area. But I didn t pay much attention to it and I continued using the bike maybe twice more. But 2 days ago I was in a lot of pain and when I checked it out in the mirror I saw that I had a bump on the right cheek of the butt (above the anus, near the tailbone area). Its not much red or irritated but it seems swollen and like the size of an almond and it does not look like it has created pus. Yesterday I started using Advil for the pain and it was effective, then the pharmacist gave me Eudorlin which I tried but it had no effect whatsoever for the pain. So today after a night with no sleep I went back to Advil. I m really nervous cause I can barely walk, I can t sit, and I m not at all comfortable laying down, (so I m not getting much sleep ). Right now I am not in the position to go to the doctor so I really hope you can help Sorry for the long post.
