Better to get a X-ray done.. It could be reinfection.. And both the gels you have mentioned, will not help to reduce the swelling.

I would suggest get an x ray done with that region to rule out any reinfection in case it’s re infected u will have to do re rct .. gel application will not reduce swelling .
Next Steps
If u can share the picture of the area . It will be better so u can start medication for it
