Hi,
It can be a sprain or contusion. As a first line of management you can apply ice packs and take analgesics like acetaminophen tramadol for painrelief.
Generally the symptoms will settle by itself in couple of days. If pain and swelling persist, you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
