Dear patient, Based on your symptoms I suspect that you might be suffering from an abscess (pus filled lump). I suggest you to consult a surgeon who will examine you and start antibiotics and drain the pus if present in a large quantity under local anaesthesia..
Health Tips
Apply icice pack around the lump which reduces the pain to a little extent.
