Brief Answer:
Topical and oral antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Perhaps it is a skin and soft tissue infection.
I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin, thrice daily for a week.

In addition,to this you may apply a topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily.You may take an OTC pain killer e.g Ibuprofen, twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
