Hi.
As per your case history of swelling after trauma my advice is-
1. Pain redness swelling and hot feeling are signs of inflammation. So your affected site is inflammed.
2. Apply ice on that part twice daily.
3. You can apply a diclofenac gel for reducing pain and inflammation.
4. Oral NSAID like ibuprofen can be taken for faster recovery.

Thanks.
