Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having formed anal abscess giving rise severe pain and increase swelling.
Now you may require excision of abscess and pus drainage.
If you had taken antibiotic initially, there might be cleared infection and you might not developed abscess.
Go to ER and get examined.
Ok and take care.
