If there is abscess, it needs to be drained. What you are saying is either a boil or folliculitis. But other possibility is paronychia due to either trauma or ingrowing toe nail. Visit a surgeon. Get evaluated for diabetic status. May require drainage. For time being start with: Tb. Augmentin, Tb. Clindamycin, Tb. Voveron, Tb. Rabicip. And a sumag dressing.

You will need a minor procedure to drain the pus. It shall give you complete relief. And then you can take a course of antibiotics/painkillers, and a few sessions of dressing.
Next Steps
get a serum blood sugar level to confirm you have no diabetes. and TRIPLEH status before procedure. These 2 are blood investigations. they should be done after wound is examined by a doctor to confirm plan of action.
