What Could Swollen Elbow With Little Pain After Hit On Elbow Indicate?

My husband fell down in the bathroom couple of weeks back and hit his elbow. He was in pain for couple of days, and he took advil and he was fine. He has no pain now, unless he push his elbow hard, but he has swelling like a water bag on his elbow and it is quite visible. I will appreciate you advice in this matter.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be a soft tissue swelling of elbow joints and this will come around after couple of days meanwhile you can try Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day for early recovery, keeping arm in sling may be beneficial, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps you, have good day.
I find this answer helpful
