Hi,
Please consult a Physiotherapist for an expert opinion on the injury. He may help you relieve the pain and swelling in a few days. Normally without medication it may take more than 2 weeks to heal a soft tissue injury. You still need to take precautions after that as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
