Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of minor contusion or ligament injury that have developed after the trauma.
As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. Apply ice-packs also.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
