Hello,
Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required to rule out tendon or ligament injury.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Apply ice packs also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
