Hello,
This kind of swelling is mostly due to inflammation. And so we need anti inflammatory drugs like paracetamol or ibuprofen today reduce swelling.
So start paracetamol or ibuprofen twice daily for 5-7 days.
Avoid masturbation or sexual intercourse for 7 days.
Your swelling will mostly improve.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
