HI
Welcome to H C M
Check for pus
Generally these type of patients become alright within 5 days.
Don't worry, I would advise to clean the wound with anti septic Eg. Dettol or Savlon & apply some antiseptic cream,for pain tablet paracetamol/ibuprofen
Get blood for CBC Your doctor would prescribe some antibiotics in liquid form for you & antibiotic cream to apply.
Take care.
