It is quiet possible that  this swelling may be due to inflammation or tissue being irritated by the plate.
Next Steps
Get CBC, ESR and CRP done.
Health Tips
If all are within normal limits then apply ice. Even if the swelling continues to bother you for next 5 months.... get the plate removed.

If it is newly developed swelling - better to consult Ortho. If there is no pain not much to worry. Use ice. If still problematic get new x Ray’s.

It can be due to weather. You can use ice pack. Use your splint if it's to much painful.
