Hi,
It could be a sprain probably. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. You can also apply ice packs for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
