Hello,
It could be a contusion. Fracture is unlikely. Consult an orthopaedician and plan for an X-ray. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. You can also apply ice packs for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
