6 months after FUE hair transplant, should I expect an increase in the volume of hair in the transplanted hair or the number of follicles that grow out. My doctor told me that upto 5-6 hair follicles can grow from one root. I am somewhat satisfied with the result but I'm still hoping for more hair to grow out and give my hair a heavy kind of look. Back to the question, what kind of growth should I expect in the second half of the year after the transplant?

Keeping the area elevated, icing the area, and if necessary a small dose of steroids can all help counteract swelling. In general it should go away on it's own, though, so it shouldn't be something to worry about unless its severe or lasts longer than a few days.
At your stage I would probably recommend waiting a bit longer before getting a transplant- you don't have much hair loss by the looks of it. You can look into other options to help prevent hair loss if Minoxidil hasn't been making a difference for you, talk to a doctor about which options...
Yes, one week is fine for loose hats that don't rub too much on the new grafts. At two weeks you can wear essentially any hat you'd like, assuming all your crusts are off by then.
