It appears to be infected at this point. It can be an abscess from a big bite. It does need to be lanced and drained and have antibiotics with sedation from your vet since it is painful. Sometimes they can rupture on their own... if you notice that you need to clean it with soap and water. You can apply a warm compress to the area to help with swelling.
