Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If swelling is there means may be site infection or collection etc. Lympadenopathy, cellulitis possible. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
