Hi,
This may be an inflamed bursa or a hematoma. Either way, I suggest you may benefit from examination to confirm the diagnosis. It may be possible to aspirate fluid from it which may help. In the meantime, take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain. Wear a compression bandage on your elbow and see your doctor.
