HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the infection then it can be given antibiotic else the symptoms would be remain as it is in absence of infection, for the swelling better to keep the leg in elevated position, what ever medicine you are taking could be continued, if this is the infection then Tab Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid three times in day can be tried hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
