You should always get any swelling checked out by a doctor before doing anything in case it is something serious. If they decide it isn't, a compression wrap like Tubigrip can certainly help reduce swelling. You want to use a double layer running from the top of your thigh to your ankle to be most effective. Beware though, you mustn't wear it at night. Tubigrip is best used in conjunction with Ice and elevation to reduce swelling.
