Suggest Cure For Pain And Swelling In Finger Due To Dog Bite

I was bitten accidentally by my dog nearly 2 weeks ago on my right hand, It became very infected and I had two courses of antibiotics, the wound is now clean. My GP has said that I can leave the wounds uncovered now and they are drying up well. However my finger is still swollen and painful. I have got co codamol and naproxen. Is there anything else I can do to help? thank you
