Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it is a boil, due to bacterial infection on the temple.
Never try to pop it , it may become septic infection. I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need ti have an incision, and drainage of the swelling.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, ranitidine, diclofenac , and paracetamol.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
