Hello dear,
If there is swelling that cause pain,it is usually a soft tissue infection,and responds to antibiotics and analgesics.If not,we can do some investigations like imaging studies,biopsy etc depending on the local examination findings to confirm the diagnosis.This can resolve the issue.
You can discuss this with your treating doctor.
Thank you.
