Hello,
It could be a contusion only, the fracture is unlikely.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
If symptoms persists you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated, in that case you might require an MRI scan also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
