If there is complete closure of Tracheostomy site and there is no associated air leak then you need not worry much. If swelling in the Tracheostomy area is associated with pain and difficulty in breathing then you should visit your doctor as early as possible
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
