Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It seems there is some inflammation due to wound,usually subsides in due course.
You may apply cold compress as doctor advised.
But you may need Antibiotic if it does not subside.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
