Pain and swelling should reduce. You should get full range of movement like your normal side. If it's not there you should consult a physiotherapist in person for complete assessment and treatment.

That's good if the swelling reduces and no pain, still take care of it, dont apply or put pressure untill it heals completely. If any uncomfortable or any issue then you can visit physiotherapy clinic.
