Get seen: You probably drove an infection deeper, may need antibiotic, get it checked out.

Sounds like: Possible abcess. May need incision and drainage or even intravenous antibiotics. Get seen asap!

Consult MD ASAP: You may have an abscess and any infection on the face has a risk of spreading into the skull. See an md asap.
