Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I hope your injury was not a fracture.
If it was just a soft tissue injury then you can take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines such as Ibuprofen to decrease the swelling and pain and use some topical local gel.
Keep it elevated during the nights.
Wish you a quick improvement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
