Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
First of all, I recommend you to rest and avoid movements that can trigger the pain.
Continue using ice compresses for local relief.
I also recommend to use an anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I suggest to apply an elastic bandage to relieve further swelling.
Hope my answer was helpful.
