Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, I think you need to take care about your gash because is an open door for germs, you have more than 1 week with the process and you don't feel better, the swollen and blending are an infection signs, probably you need to take some antibiotics, at this moment some gargle with aloe vera and honey can help you to minimize the discomfort.I hope that my advice has been helpful,take care
