Brief Answer:
you can try diclofenac from over the counter
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you again for your question. If it warm and swelling, you can try diclofenac from over the counter. but if you have your open wound with liquid you should try to clean with normal Saline and apply Antibiotic cream and /or hydrogel cream. But if you feel worsening you should see a doctor. He or She may need to do physical examination and they will rule out the serious problem.
Hope you are getting better soon.
