Dear Friend
I would advice you to revisit trauma centre for reevaluation.
If no fracture is there , it might be a soft tissue injury.
You require a combination of pain killer and serritiopeptidase like Zynase-D, it will reduce the swelling and would help in healing.
Also if the wound has cut or it's open , antibiotics would be required for preventing cellulitis.
I advise you to discuss with your doctor my opinion.
