Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of infected bartholin cyst is more.
No, you should not squeeze it.
Yes, you can apply warm water pad. No harm in it.
Avoid moisture and perspiration in private parts. Keep proper hygiene of private parts. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
If swelling worsens in size or pain, better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination of swelling.
You may need antibiotics and surgical removal of swelling.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
