Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic forum. I understand your concerns.

If there is just clear liquid then there is no need to be concerned but if there is pus discharge, fever, redness then it may indicate inflammation and you may need antibiotics.

Also if pain is progressive you should do Xrays to rule out bone fracture in injured area.
Till this, you should rest, apply cold compresses, keep it elevated and take nonsteroid painkillers such as ibuprofenum or Diclofenac.

It is however expected that symptoms may persist even for up to two weeks but just watch for these signs that I have mentioned and be patient.

I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
