Hello,
Most probably it will be a sprain or contusion. Fracture is unlikely.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for symptomatic relief.
Generally you will improve in couple of days.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
