Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to cellulitis.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
