Hi,
The symptoms are suggestive of minor contusion or sprain.
As the first line of management, you can apply ice packs and take analgesic/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Immobilize the limb for a couple of days also. Generally, everything will be settled in a couple of days.
If symptoms persist, you have to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
