Hello
warm swelling following injury is suggestive of infection or inflammation of the shin condition is also known as cellulitis
I would advise you to consult your doctor immediately before it aggravates further
You may require a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor after clinical examination and a battery of tests.
Hope this answers your question
best wishes
