All surgery carries a risk of infection, bleeding, and reactions to any pain medicines used. This is mostly related to the cause. For example, pregnant women often need no further treatment for swelling after they deliver the baby. People with liver, kidney or heart disease may need very close monitoring and further treatment for life. The affected person and the health care provider can monitor the effect of treatment on the swelling.
Further monitoring depends on the cause.
For example, those with infection as the cause may need a follow-up visit to make sure the swelling goes away after taking antibiotics. By visiting this site, you agree to the terms and conditions of our Visitor Agreement .
