Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain, swelling and puffiness along with redness seems to be due to traumatic injury and there is a possibility that there is bony fracture secondary to injury..
You should consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and he can do a thorough clinical evaluation and advise x ray to confirm..
In case if there is bony fracture reduction and fixation can be done..
In case if there is only soft tissue injury doing cold compresses, application of a analgesic ointment like Diclofenac, taking painkillers like Ibuprofen and application of Heparin gel to fade bruising can help..

Hope this information helps.

Thanks and regards.
