Hello
This swelling may be due to collection of blood underneath skin and in between bone or other soft part ( due to edema ) .
As you didn't mention the site of swelling .
When such type of patient visit in my clinic I advise them for ice massage . Raise parts effected.
Take serratiopeptidase 20 mg trice in day only for 2-3 days .
Hope this information will help you.
Good luck.
