Swelling after muscle injury
I have a muscle injury on the knee. It has now been 3 weeks, but I still see light swelling on the knee, though it is less than before.
How long can the swelling last after injury?
I had consulted a doctor and completed a 7 day course of Antacid + Anti inflammatory drug(Signoflam).
