Brief Answer:
Minor injury, will recover within a short time.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This is very minor accidental injury with a little bit of swelling. It is not at all a grave injury to die off. Just apply ice for 5 minutes each 3 times a day and you will be fine within a short time period.

Hope I have answered your query. Wish you fine recovery.

Thank you.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
