How Long Does Swelling Persists After A Circumcision?

my son s circumcision was almost 2 weeks ago and the swelling continues until now. His Doctor was not around when we get back for check up so its another Doctor who attended to our problem. According to him, it s normal, we only have to use cold water for cleaning, apply cold compress .How long can we expect that the swelling be removed after applying above?

Pediatrician 's  Response
it will take 2-3 weeks for the complete healing. another week or so and he will be fine. no need to panic if there is no oozing or bleeding from the wound.
