Suggest Remedies For Swelling And Fluid Deposition In Bursae

I injured the bersae in my elbo on a weight machine at the gym…my bersae is inflamed, but not infected, yet fluid filled and aggravating. It s been two weeks or more. Will the fluid dissipate on its own or should I be more proactive and get it checked out and fluid drawn?
