You can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen-. Ibuprofen has anti-inflammatory effects so it would be a good medicine to take for the discomfort. But, you likely need to have this looked at by your doctor to diagnose it and have any treatment needed. By your description, it is unclear what it is-it could be a small abscess, for example, that may need antibiotics. So, see your doctor. Good luck!

Before treating would suggest an exam and having a proper diagnosis. Over the counter meds may help in the interim, best is to have it properly addressed with the help of your doc.
