Hello,
It could be an inflammatory swelling.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
If there are signs of infection, antibiotics have to be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
