Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems like an abscess and it is nothing but a collection of pus. Start a short course of antibiotics preferably Amoxclav for five to days. If symptoms persist consult a surgeon and get t drained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
