Hello,
As of now you can use analgesics / anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac / seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. There is risk of infection and you have to apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water. Oral antibiotics may also be required preferably amoxclav.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
