Hi there!

A post-surgical swelling is often due to associated inflammation and is likely to settle with time in a few weeks/ months. You could try limb elevation, ice-packs if the surgery/ injury has been recent or else warm compresses. OTC NASIDS may also be helpful in relief.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
