Answer: Edema

Step-by-step explanation:

The swelling that is caused as the result of inflammation is known as Edema. Just after an injury takes place the traumatized area becomes red, painful and warm. It also starts to swell.

This swelled area is also known as Edema which is caused due to acute response of acute inflammation.

This response is trigerred by the injured tissues. When the body starts healing then, change in blood flow takes place and swelling is also cured.

But sometimes it is so acute that it restricts the normal blood flow and movement of the affected area.
