How To Cure Large Painful Hematoma On Right Hip?

My husband has a large hematoma on his right hip after intense PT today. The knot is as large as a grapefruit and very painful. Currently, we are using ice and resting. Should he avoid his aspirin and what other measures should he take? He is in a great deal of pain and can't put much weight on that hip.
