Hi, you just take complete bed rest for two weeks.. Post traumatic oedema induced swelling and pain, It takes about two to three weeks for complete recovery. So, do not worry, take short course of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. Take bed rest with elevated affected leg... I hope you will get good recovery... Ok
