Hello,
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
We have to rule out possible causes like arthritis and cellulitis.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
