This is a hematoma, which usually resolves nicely even without medicines as a normal body healing process.
Observe that it is nor getting enlarged and does not get warm and painful - tell then the need of an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medicine.
You can please get this confirmed by ultrasonography with a color doppler - to rule out it is not something else.
