General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Yes, during the process of healing there will be inflammatory reaction and slight swelling may be there. Due to repeated trauma this might have taken long time to heal. Give rest and it will heal. If it does not heal in 7 to 10 days of complete rest then consult your doctor once for examination.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
