Hello,
It could be a contusion only. Fracture is unlikely.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
