Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com

For pain you can take anti inflammatory and ice pack. Please take bed rest and avoid moving. I advice you go to emergency room of nearest hospital, where the available duty doctor will asses and get further investigation done depending on clinical findings.

If you are back in your town still do not wait for doctor if you do not get appointment, go to emergency room and let the doctor see you.

Please revert back if you need any further information.

With best wishes,
Dr. TEhzib saiyed
