Hello Paulette,
The pain you are experiencing is just due to the injury to the area and there is absolutely nothing to worry about. It may heal without any medicine. However, if you do need to have something for pain relief, you can take over-the-counter available painkillers like Acetaminophen 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 mg or Diclofenac 50 mg. You can apply ice on the area. The pain will subside in a few days.
I hope this information helps. Thank you for using HealthcareMagic. Take care.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
