Hello,

The lump seems to be related to the injury.

I suggest using ice compresses in the area of the pain.

I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
