Hello and thanks for the query
It seems to have soft tissue injury of the hip. You need to follow certain steps to get recover:
1. Take complete rest as much as you can.
2. Restrict the movement of the hip that causes pain.
3. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel at the site. Ice and hot fermentation also helps you.
4. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain.
5. Do not wear weight on the leg.
If the pain become worse or feels discomfort than feel free to consult your doctor and get your X-ray done. Hope this will help you.
Best Wishes

Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury/ligament injury.
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
Regards.
