Hi, the swelling and pain will be there for a few more days. You can apply some antiallergic medication

Hello there. I can understand your concern. You need to apply T-Bact ointment over the area so that it doesn't get infected. For pain and swelling you can take a combination of diclofenac and serratiopeptidase like tab. Lyser-d twice a day for 3 days after food. It will reduce gradually. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
