How long does it take for an embolism swelling to go away?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Swelling: Embolism swelling? Do you mean DVT swelling? Where is it? What caused it? Did it get infected? What other symptoms do you have and what medication are you on to treat the embolism?

Maybe never: If by "embolism" you mean deep vein thrombosis, swelling may be a persistent problem in about a third of patients.
