Greetings! since you havent explained the exact history behind the swelling i would suggest you to take Analgesics tablets like diclofenac with serratiopeptidase and apply analgesic creams to reduce the pain! ice packs on the affected area would also be helpful! i would suggest you to get a xray done to rule out any fracture or dislocation! since your not running fever it doesnt look like there is a ongoing infection! so for time being no antibiotics are required
