Hi,
I would suggest you get an X-ray to ascertain that there is no minor fracture, then the treatment changes. If there is no fracture then we expect a recovery with painkillers and local heat/ Ice in about 10 days unless it is a severe injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
