Hi,
Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below-:
1)Use ice to the area every 2 hours until swelling reduced.I think it may be a hematoma due to injury of small vessels .
Observe for 24 hours.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best.
