Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for the query.

Shoulder does not get swollen easily and a swelling in the shoulder region indicates severe inflammation or infection of the joint.

You must consult an orthopedic surgeon without delay.

As a temporary measure, you can take one tablet of combiflam and apply ice to the swollen area.

I hope that answers your query.

Best regards.
