Hi,
It's important you get it examined by a local doctor for the cause. If it's painful, red and pus point is there, then its likely a boil, but should be confirmed on examination. So if it's a boil then you'll need an antibiotic like Augmentin to control the infection along with antacids like Pantoprazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
