HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may be best to see your doctor for assessment.

It is possible that the area is infected because pain and swelling should not be persisting after this period of time.

Persisting pain and swelling are sometimes indicative of infection.

Antibiotics may be needed.

I hope this helps
