The yellow stuff is pus. And it doesn't sound too good, you probably need some antibiotics. So visit your doctor and get it checked.
I don't think it's blood poisoning. But you should get it checked, that thing can spread, but i doubt it.

I've had some wound that swollen up and had lots of pus. But it all healed, I now have some big scar on my left leg just underneath my knee cap.

EDIT
I can't tell, it's not good to take antibiotics just like that. You need a doctor to check you out first, to confirm that you really have a bacterial infection.
Taking antibiotics when not needed, can make you resistant. So when next time you really need it, it won't work.



Try putting peroxide on it to kill the germs. It may sting when you put it on, but that's ok/
