Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a bacterial infection.
A physical examination is needed to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, I suggest to start a cycle of antibiotics such as Augmentin twice a day for a week.
I also suggest to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and cover it with an antibiotic cream.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
