Please consult pediatrician as proper detailed history is not possible on chat in your case and then take medicines.

As there is no impression of finger or bounced back doesn't seem like edema..what you can do is watch if there is any increase in swelling, if there is no increase in swelling and activity of the baby is good then u can wait
Next Steps
if there is increase in size associated with reduced feeding , activity consult nearby pediatrician
