A more important ?: The more important question is why is it swelling randomly. Get the diagnosis right and the treatment usually becomes clear.

Reason for swelling?: Once the reason for swelling is determined, treatment can help prevent further swelling. You should be seen by an orthoapedic surgeon perhaps.
