Hello,

It could be a contusion.

As of now you can use analgesics/antiinflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and get an X-ray.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
