Hot compress will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The soreness in the hip that you have is likely to be due to soft tissue injury and muscle spasm. This can be relieved by local hot compress and rest. You can also take a mild pain killer for relief. Applying local analgesic spray can also help.
In case the pain is persistent or there is an increase in swelling then do consult your orthopedician for a physical examination to rule out any bone injury.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
