Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM
I have been through your query and I understand your concern.
You have not mentioned that where exactly you have got swelling. .if it is a bony area you need an Xray to see for a fracture. .
For symptomatic relief you may take NSAIDs like a combination of pain killers and serritiopeptidase. .
Hope it helps
