Frozen bags of peas or corn are especially good for this purpose. If the area of redness and heat continues to expand or there are red streaks our fever, than please go to an er or acute care clinic. If it is not resolving after a week but is not worsening, than please call your doctor.

Fever : Fever and swelling can be a bad combination, get seen by someone soon.
