Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
At first sight that not seems to be broken or fractured. i advice you to wither wait for one day if pain and swelling increase then you can go to x ray and further treatment. But in such case do not try any home measure for the treatment. That may lead to some serious deformity.

So to avoid and serious damage prefer to visit physician
Meanwhile you can take Arnica 30 4 pills twice in day

Hope that is clear to you

Thanks

Hi dear,
It is better to get an x Ray done at the earliest.
Meanwhile, take simple analgesics and keep the limb in elevated position.
Take care.
Thank you.
