Hello,
It is quite common after a fall.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
