Hello,
Based on your history with the x-ray already been done to rule out fracture I would, in my opinion, recommend you to take lots of rest, analgesic, as required, can be taken and an anti-inflammatory can also be added. The high sugar is of concern and will hinder the healing process. Kindly visit a physician for the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Fahim Sheik
