General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, your history suggest more of an hematoma (blood accumulates and get's clot)
If i were your treating doctor then i would advise
1) To incise the wound and remove the clot, and covering with antiseptic lotion.
2) To start on antibiotic i.e cefexime and antacid and to continue full course.
3) Consult your physician to get the procedure done under aseptic condition, and to get prescribed medicines.
4) color change and pain in swelling indicates starting infection and it is better to get intervention as early as possible.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
