Hi,
Vastus lateralis muscle swelling occurs during weight lifting and sports activity. So avoid if you are doing any of these. Take tablet ibuprofen for better management of pain and swelling. Also, apply ktape that will assist in reducing the strain of muscle as well as repair. Don't forget to do physiotherapy exercise, it will help you a lot.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
