Brief Answer:
Continue with above measures and monitor only!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I have reviewed this information fully and you are taking the necessary measures already to address this problem. The resolution of the swelling would not be instantaneous and may get worse before fully resolving. This is because the swelling is a reaction that often continues and rarely fully halted by drugs. drugs would only limit the extent and not put a stop to it.
For now, continue with these measures. No need to seek for more medical attention unless pain becomes worse with difficulty walking and bearing weights.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
