Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
Just wait for several more days and see will there be progression of swelling or infection. After this you can plan further streching and other things. Sometimes there can be serious inflammation and if you notice redness, pain and pus you should visit ENT. Also you can apply some cold compresses and take nonsteroid painkillers,
Wish you good health and recovery.
