Dear Friend
Welcome to Health care magic. I am Dr Charu Bansal , I will shortly try to help you with my opinion.

If still you can see the swelling, then anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen may be required. Additionally oral antibiotics may be required if there is an evidence of infection.
Topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin 2 % is usually given in such cases.

Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion, I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. If you wish to discuss the problem further , you may please ask.
Stay Healthy.
