Answers:
Keep plenty of antibiotic ointment on it to prevent infection. I don't think there is a lot you can do for the pain except take pain relievers like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen. You could try a lidocaine ountment to numb it.
If the pain is unbearable (I think it would be) you could call your doctor to get some prescriptions.
