Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Most probably it will be due to ligament or tendon related problem.
If symptoms persists better 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.
