Brief Answer:
Advised anti inflammatory medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Your symptoms suggest you hit some where or it may be an insect bite.
Do you notice any redness over the swelling?
Do you have fever? Do you have itchiness?
I would suggest you anti inflammatory medication like paracetamol with serrotopeptidase combination twice a day. You can get this medication with your primary doctor prescription.
Topical analgesics like volini. Apply thrice a day.
You can use cold compression.
Elevate leg end when you lie down or sit.
Keep doing movements of other fingers which increases blood circulation.
Avoid excessive walk or pressure.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
