This is collection of blood in the muscles .It is called hematoma and it is common after fall as there is injury to blood vessels and there rupture causes extravasation of the blood in the muscles leading to formation of lump. Its size depends up on how much blood has come out of it. So for now you need following treatment.
1. Antibiotics to prevent infection in the blood.
2. Analgesics like Brufen or Voveron to treat pain and swelling.
3. Hot water fomentation so that this blood get absorbed faster.
Some time when blood volume is much larger then it may needed to be removed with the help of needle, but it is not required most of the time.
