Suggest Treatment For Swollen Bump On Shin After Injury

I rammed my leg against a low wooden chest and almost immediately a large goose egg appeared on my lower shin just above mt ankle. The skin was not broken. I went quickly into the house, elevated my leg and applied an ice pack. After about a half hour I rose and took a quick shower. When I looked down I saw that the goose egg had reappeared. I elevated it once more, took two ibreprofin and wrapped it with an ace bandage. Now, what should I do?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling over the shin can be because of the post soft tissue inflammatory response secondary to injury. The other possible cause can be because of a fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult an orthopedic surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of analgesic with antiinflammatory drug like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase respectively (if you are not allergic).
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
