Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

You may take anti inflammatory like aceclofenac with serratiopeptidase which helps is reduction of swelling and also controls the inflammation. It needs to be taken twice daily till swelling reduces. Within 2 to 3 days it should start getting smaller.

You need to take antibiotic like cefixime if it is infected and it is a prescribed medication . Features of infection are pain and redness over the swelling.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further queries I would love to help.
