HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if the history of fall is there then she should be in bed in complete rest and the pain can be managed with the analgesic tablet and the best option is Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three time in day if the swelling does not go off or increased then she has to be taken for x-ray study, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
