General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to the injury.

I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain and swelling.

I also suggest using cold compresses and maintain the area immobilized and elevated.

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

Regards,
