Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This condition is called arteritis. Arteritis is a condition in which inflammation of your arteries damages your blood vessel walls, this inflammation will take at least 14 days to go away, antinflammatory medications should be taken. Serrapeptase should be taken along with anti inflammatory, arteritis will take time to settle down.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramesh Kumar
