Hello,
It sounds like he has a small abscess. It would be a good idea to take him to the clinic so he can be started on a course of antibiotics. Please give him medicines as your pediatrician has advised to keep his fever at bay.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
