Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
If there is a visible swelling, can you kindly upload an image for me to review?
If the swelling does not increase in size, or the pain does not worsen, you can wait till Monday.
Till then you can take an anti-inflammatory like Advil SOS to get relief from the pain. It will also reduce the swelling, by reducing the inflammation.
Please feel free to discuss further,
Dr. Jaydeep
