Hello,
Swelling is part of the body's inflammatory response, and unfortunately, it can persist for a long period of time (a few weeks). The use of anti-inflammatory medication, if you can use these would help Naproxen or Ibuprofen etcetera.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
